There is a fine balance between acting precipitously and waiting too long.
Going into the end of the third weekend, understanding the time it would take to mobilize police and plan for a police action, for example, in Ottawa, we were going into a fourth weekend if action wasn't taken. Having tried to use all of the existing authorities and levels of government that we could to resolve the situations, both in Ottawa and across the country, it was at that point that it was determined we should act.
It is a question of was it too late, or was it too early, and I think that will be debated for quite some time.
