Thank you, Madam Chair. Are you adding Ms. Bendayan's five minutes to mine? I see you aren't. Okay.
Ms. Lucki, you told us that the situation on Wellington Street, here in Ottawa, got worse from one weekend to the next. I repeat that, elsewhere in Canada, you ended blockades without the use of emergency measures. Here, on the Hill, we know that that was a problem, and the declaration took effect on February 14 of this year. Before that, I know you set up a special team in co‑operation with the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ottawa Police Service. You told us in your comments that the situation got worse from one weekend to the next, that it was going from bad to worse.
Were you waiting for a specific event or time before taking action? Why was the situation getting worse? What were you waiting for before taking action?
