Mr. Chair, at 10:51 a.m., one of our motorcycle officers did stop a green bus. The purpose of that was to start the process of flushing out the street to ensure the safe arrival of the motorcade. That street the bus was on was flushed to prevent oncoming traffic from facing the motorcade. That was the first phase to flushing out the street, removing the oncoming traffic. The second phase was the vehicles and motorcycles pushing out traffic that was going in the same direction as the motorcade. That process started approximately 10 minutes before the arrival of the motorcade. That's what you see on a video, which I reviewed. You see the Ottawa Police Service officer stopping all vehicular traffic on that street where the green bus was. There were a couple of other vehicles behind it as well, preventing oncoming traffic. That happened at 10:51 a.m.
On October 21st, 2014. See this statement in context.
