Sir, I would think we're going to have to double our efforts with our partners, particularly with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, to ensure these things don't happen.
There are a number of avenues we're already looking at. You will recall back in the 2012 incident during that visit there were controlled pedestrian access points, and we resolved that issue by having a member of the House of Commons security go out on the site with the RCMP member to identify members of Parliament. We have done that on numerous occasions since 2012, in particular for large demonstrations.
One of the ways forward, or one of the things I've seen, is that there is an operational centre that looks after these visits at St. Joseph Boulevard, which is controlled by the RCMP. We have one of our House of Commons security constables embedded within that operational centre for these visits, but I think the next step we're going to have to take is to ask for a joint management that has the overall perspective of the entire visit and would have a superintendent of House of Commons security there with the superintendent of the RCMP. That's one of the ways forward I see which hopefully could resolve this issue.
The other issue is that we continually have to educate the RCMP on the whole issue of privilege. We do that at all our meetings and pre-meetings, but evidently the message is just not reaching the front-line troops that members of Parliament enjoy a privilege and that their access to the precinct is to be unfettered. We have to continue to try to solve that problem.
