As I said before, there were 500 officers on whatever day that happened to be, split over three different shifts. That doesn't mean they were all available at the same time and at the different times you talked about.
Let me also say that even in those early morning hours, when there were low numbers and officers tried to effect an enforcement action or any other action, many times they were swarmed and sometimes they were overwhelmed. I can tell you explicitly of one female sergeant who had worked an 18-hour shift and went out on her own time to support frontline officers. She was almost overwhelmed at one of those four o'clock in the morning opportunities that you talked about. That is well documented by other levels of threat assessments well beyond those being authored by the Ottawa Police Service. Feel free to avail yourself of those assessments.
The fact is, sir, that it was never that simple. We saw it in Coutts, Alberta, where there were substantive resources available and operations were well planned. Within minutes of attempts to remove trucks, those forces were overwhelmed. We saw it in Windsor and in other jurisdictions. This is not something unique to Ottawa.
