I think that's a fair assessment. I think it was very clearly beyond the capacity of the Ottawa Police Service to do it on their own. They reached out very early. I had a number of conversations with law enforcement leaders across the province as well, who were sending resources to help, but I think it did exceed their capacity.
I think the police understood their responsibility to try to resolve this peaceably. They expressed to me a very sincere concern that their actions could result in a violent response and they were doing their very best to avoid that violence. We also gave consideration to those circumstances that they described in determining that we would be able to enact certain measures that would prove to be a significant disincentive to the continued occupation of Ottawa and those critical points of entry at our borders.
That was also part of, frankly, my thinking on the measures that we were required to bring forward for how we could help law enforcement bring about a peaceful resolution of this matter.
