Madam Chair—and I think it's an important distinction—if the parliamentary precinct would be expanded under the current framework of the PPS, that would be for security reasons only. It would be a security posture similar to what's provided on the Hill now, expanded to an outside area. We would still remain the police of jurisdiction. We would still be responsive to any sort of Criminal Code incidents. It would continue to need to be a partnership between us and PPS as we moved ahead.
