As a result of the amendments made to the Parliament of Canada Act, the Parliamentary Protection Service, or PPS, was created. That led to the creation of
memorandum of understanding.
According to that memorandum of understanding, I report to the Speakers of the Senate and of the House of Commons with regard to any aspects concerning security throughout the parliamentary precinct and on Parliament Hill, as well as policies on these matters. However, in terms of operations, I report to the RCMP commissioner.
