The member of Parliament in question was originally walking southbound on the west side of the Bank Street extension. He came up to the general area of the main entrance into the lower drive. He walked pretty well all the way over to the east side of Bank Street, was directed back across the street by the RCMP member, and then was detained or stopped there until the motorcade passed.
All visits have different security levels, from level one to level five. This particular visit was a level four. Our practice there is to have no pedestrian access at closed points. It's at those higher-level visits, when we have designated access for pedestrians where people's IDs are being checked, that we've been putting members of Parliament.... But in this particular scenario, this particular event, there was to be no stopping of pedestrians, regardless of whether they were members of Parliament or not. Civilians, everyone, had free access to the Hill. There was no predetermination that we would be stopping people or preventing people from coming up on the Hill.
