If I may, Minister, prior to invoking the Emergencies Act, wouldn't we have wanted to see what their plan was going forward? Obviously, their plan for the first number of weeks didn't work, but we were told by the RCMP, which is a federal agency, that they actually had a plan that they felt was going to work just days prior to the invocation. Do you know if the Minister of Public Safety, to whom there is a more direct link with the RCMP, had reviewed that plan to see whether or not...? In other words, did they believe this plan would be unsuccessful and that they needed to do something else? Do you know if anyone in the government saw that plan?
