Thank you very much.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here. I have a short time and a lot of questions.
Mayor Watson, I'm curious about the provincial role because you've been very specific in your comments, and you had meetings with the federal government—not with the provincial government. The last I looked, the provincial government is responsible for policing in the province and as an oversight for municipalities, so can you tell me what conversations you had with the provincial government on this and if you could tell us about the tripartite discussions that took place?
