I'm sorry, Mr. Bell, but I have a very short time for questioning. That was a comprehensive answer.
My second question, Madam Chair, through you, is for Deputy Commissioner Duheme.
At last week's declaration of emergency committee, my colleague Larry Brock didn't have time to finish a line of questioning about the RCMP's technical capacity to conduct non-invasive detection of explosive materials.
I won't ask about the specifics of those techniques, but I do want to know if it is true that, for at least the first two weeks of the convoy protest, the RCMP denied or ignored requests from the Ottawa Police Service or the Parliamentary Protective Service to provide or lend its technical capacity?
