Perhaps I can say that the PPS currently has five operational divisions. The uniformed divisions ensure the safety and security of the precinct and the grounds. These divisions are currently operationally led by former members of the RCMP's Parliament Hill security unit, the House of Commons security, and Senate security. They all came together as a result of the creation of the PPS.
On a daily basis, the command framework involves the linkages between those five operational divisions in the PPS. That means that any and all aspects of security are discussed and analyzed, as I mentioned, against the backdrop of the domestic and international threat environment and based on information and intelligence.
On budget day, March 22, the divisions that were affected by the budget event formed a unified command to ensure that all aspects of the budget security operation unfolded as expected. This unified command oversaw the decision-making process of halting the VSF timings with the Ottawa police, and timings with the PPS motorcade escort that took the bus onto the Hill. They were also responsible for all the moving parts of the rest of the parliamentary operations.
As I mentioned, sir, the delay and the extent of the delay was an error, and it's one that I accept responsibility for.
