Mr. Christopherson, I couldn't agree more with your comments about the importance of planning. I know that in our debriefing since this incident, in going forward we're going to redouble our efforts to make sure that parliamentary privilege is known everywhere and discussed throughout the planning process. I also know that Assistant Commissioner Michaud and Patrick McDonell, our director general of security, have already addressed that. In our operational plans there shall be a dedicated paragraph that focuses on nothing other than parliamentary privilege.
Having said that, and I have no doubt Deputy Commissioner Cabana, who is here, and Assistant Commissioner Michaud, will agree that in all our conversations, and especially in all our planning meetings on the master security plan, that it's the c'est une pierre angulaire, the cornerstone, of everything we do, so that we talk about parliamentary privilege. In this particular case, somehow--and I, as Sergent-at-Arms, when I hear the discussion today--I feel...I'm not saying failing, but that I'm going to have to really double down to educate the importance....
The incident with Mr. Godin at the street corner, to me, is unacceptable. But that incident happened long before the green buses with members of Parliament on board were stopped, I believe at 10:04 to 11:13, and that's where the serious breach of privilege occurred. Going forward, to answer your question, I completely agree with you. I accept your thoughts on this that as Sergeant-at-Arms, it's paramount for me to redouble my efforts with our friends, the RCMP and Ottawa City Police, to ensure that these types of incidents stop and do not continue to happen.
