Well, again, you've referenced the two primary issues. Declining public trust creates a public safety risk in any policing organization, any policing environment. The focus of that was increasingly on the Ottawa Police Service for a national security crisis, and increasingly on the officer who held that position, chief of police, which was me. My interpretation—others will have their own opinions—was that a declining level of trust in my officers and in my office was potentially slowing down resources and supports necessary for our officers to be able to safely and successfully end this. I took myself out of the equation because I wasn't going to take 1,400 people out of the equation. That was my last act in office, quite frankly, to speed that up in whatever way I possibly could, at that time, after working many days in a row and many sleepless nights without finding another way to speed up the resources. That was the number one thing we in the Ottawa Police Service needed to come into this city. I don't know if it had the effect I desired, but that was my intent. The primary intent was for public safety, to get those officers into this city, to clear the streets and to get us back to a state of normalcy.
