If I understand the question, sir, the Ottawa Police Service is the police of jurisdiction for the city of Ottawa. We had continuous operational lead of the incident command system. Up until my last day in office, I was continuously accountable for all police operations in the city. That included the operational plans for the events that related to the city.
At no time did I cede control of that or lose accountability for it. What we did from the beginning, as I said to Senator Boniface, was make sure that our partners were as integrated as possible and intersected as one of the examples, if not the best example, of multi-agency coordination. At no point on February 12, February 11 or February 13 were we not in control of that plan or not leading that plan. At no point did we not have the support of our partners, including the RCMP and the OPP.
They were very much involved in all of the planning phases from before and during—I can't speak about after—and it was the Ottawa Police Service plan that was in existence on February 12 and on my last day in office, on February 15. It was used, ultimately, to safely and successfully end events here, and it contributed to ending the events across the country.
