Thank you, Madame Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for being here with us this afternoon, and, most importantly, for the work you do to help protect us, our democracy, our staff and all the folks who work here within the parliamentary precinct.
I think the Parliamentary Protective Service and the role of security have evolved over the years, and are constantly changing. In your years of service, you've probably seen changes to the scope and range of protective services you need to provide not only in the vicinity of downtown Ottawa but also in terms of constituency security for members while they're in their ridings or at home.
Could I ask you to discuss that evolution? In your experience, how has that evolved in recent years? As part of that, maybe you could also discuss the staffing complement and the size of the team required to provide your services here, and the broad mandate you have to assist and protect us.
