Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Assistant Commissioner, let me start the same way Mr. Lukiwski did. We're here, and our responsibility is to protect the privilege of members, both individually and collectively, to have unimpeded access to Parliament.
With that said as an opening, I note that you've repeated this, but it's here in writing as well. You're saying that your instructions—and I'm going to quote it back to you—to your staff on the Hill on these occasions were that:
Members on duty that day were advised to facilitate access to Parliamentarians and challenge those without accreditation. These are standard instructions.
My first question is, are these the standard instructions just on these occasions when we have a special visitor who may be at some significant risk?
