Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you for being here, all of you.
My questions will be for the mayor, at least at the start. He may want to direct in the answers.
Mayor, your earlier description of how the residents of Ottawa felt at that time resonated with me as a resident of Ottawa. I want to talk a little bit about what the perspective was, being here.
You said that the OPS lost Wellington Street. I think that for a lot of residents in Ottawa they felt that the police action was, in fact, a complete breakdown of policing in the municipality. I wonder if you would share that view that we had a breakdown of policing?
