Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just have one question I would like to ask Your Worship.
Mr. Ayotte has told us that the city did not install barricades on the advice of the Ottawa city police. I would have thought that knowing that the convoy was rolling across the country, the barricades might have been a preventive measure to at least protect the parliamentary precinct.
I'm wondering—and maybe it's Mr. Ayotte I should be asking—if the city asked the police. What was the interface between the city and the police that led Mr. Ayotte to say that the city had advice not to install barricades? Could you elaborate?
