When the government went to look for the revocation, obviously it would be remiss if it didn't come to us. I provided regular briefings about the situation. Our primary concern was the public and officers' safety. It was about, is it a safe time to take away some of the authorities we had? Would that prevent this from reoccurring? The government was looking for any assurances with regard to, if it took away the act, would things go back to the way they were? That's what it wanted to know.
From our point of view, when we took control back of the city, we were confident that we could maintain that control without the act.
