Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to both gentlemen who are here today. Thank you for what you've done. There was a lot of stress, obviously, on downtown Ottawa and at points of entry across the country, and it disrupted daily lives and obviously our Canadian economy. It's scary to think what could actually transpire going forward.
We've heard a lot of things. People have been saying that there was disinformation and there have been accusations, and there was all kinds of information that wasn't necessarily available at the time.
Is not part of the process of going through this to ensure that your intelligence is withheld within the law enforcement community that is providing the services to eliminate, basically, the occupation of downtown Ottawa? How much does that play...? Some of the questions are basically reverting to “Why didn't you do this?”, or “Why didn't you say this publicly?”, but to me, would that not be part of the process to ensure that your intelligence was kept within, to ensure the protection of society and the protection of your officers who were going to be in charge of this whole process?
