Declaration of Emergency committee  No, I wouldn't agree with that, because I think there are many pieces within the intelligence that are very relevant not within the intelligence. That's extremely relevant—

Declaration of Emergency committee  That's a very difficult question to answer, because we relied on the frameworks that were provided to us. We were continuing to develop a plan. We would have executed a plan that would have been different from the one that we ultimately did under the Emergencies Act. I can't answer the question about what would have happened in the absence of it, because it existed and it was utilized within our planning process and the execution of our plan.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Yes, I do.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I'm going to turn that one over to Deputy Chief Ferguson.

Declaration of Emergency committee  No, it was more around options. I was asked what some of the options we considered were. Trying to amass local assets through our municipal government was one of them, but that just didn't meet the number we needed in order to move the occupation out.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I don't actually have that number for you.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I'm going to turn that over to Deputy Chief Ferguson.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I don't know if it was one, two or three trucks that we had accessed. I believe there was discussion around the exact number with city manager Steve Kanellakos last week, but it fell far short of the number we were going to need to access in order to mobilize the plan that had been put together to remove all of the protesters.

Declaration of Emergency committee  No. I can tell you that, as part of the planning right from the early days, we worked very hard to try to access the resources we needed, tow trucks or alternatives. Ultimately, we weren't able to find the numbers or alternative means to move them. What it came down to was that in order for us to execute the plan, we were going to need to have the number of tow trucks that Deputy Chief Ferguson mentioned.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Project Hendon is run primarily by the Ontario Provincial Police—

Declaration of Emergency committee  The Hendon reports were shared widely within our organization. They were actually put into our intelligence unit, into our planning team, and information was reported up through our chain of command.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I think we all continued to grow in our knowledge and understanding of what was going—

Declaration of Emergency committee  That's correct.

Declaration of Emergency committee  That it can happen is correct, yes.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I'm not familiar with the information around Coutts. I can tell you that there were fringe elements involved in the protests in Ottawa, but I can also tell you that there were a large number of people involved in occupying our streets, engaged daily in illegal activities.
