Thank you, Madam Chair.
The violence, and even the arson that my colleague Mr. Brock referred to, likely would not have occurred if we were not a city under siege in Ottawa at the time.
Mr. Carrique, I would like to ask a question with respect to something you said earlier. If I understood your testimony correctly, you indicated that without the Emergencies Act, you probably would have had police officers operate tow trucks. It would have taken longer, but you're not sure how long. Therefore, the Emergencies Act allowed for a quicker resolution of the situation.
