Ms. O'Connell, you raise a very important issue. I know that you've done a lot of work in this area, as have a number of colleagues. I am deeply concerned about the rise of threats, intimidation and hate speech directed at people who step forward to serve their constituents and their country. I, too, walk around Parliament Hill. I walk back and forth to the hotel where I stay and to my office in the Confederation Building. I see some of those same people with their megaphones—I sort of hope that their batteries die because it's going to get colder, and the batteries don't last as long in the cold weather—yelling really offensive things, and they tend to focus much of this vile on women and on racialized people. I understand that this circumstance is a problem. The Sergeant-at-Arms is doing, in our view, a very important job in this area. The RCMP work with him. We gave, as a department, many millions of dollars to the Ottawa Police Service to take responsibility, and I see that our colleague from Ottawa-Vanier was involved in that effort, too, around the security of Wellington Street.
I share your concern. We have done a lot to increase..., as has Parliament itself, but I think we all need to be thinking about what more we can do, heaven forfend that there's a violent or very unfortunate incident. I worry about that every day.
