Yes, absolutely.
When I talked to the security officer, he was not sure what was happening or why the gate had been closed for a while. I did not talk to the RCMP people; I really talked to the House of Commons officer. He was not sure what was happening and told me that it should be the Prime Minister's motorcade, which was empty, but he also told me that he would find out.
When we saw that the information on what was taking place was vague and that the gate was still closed, we decided to walk to the House of Commons.
However, you are correct in saying, after this morning's testimony, that we were rather made to wait because of journalists. However, according to the information given to me at that time—as the clerk clearly indicates in his decision—it was due to the Prime Minister's empty motorcade. But the employee was not 100% sure and told me that he would find out.
Since we had no further news, we left to go vote as quickly as possible, but we arrived late, as you know.
