Madam Chair, through you, I would thank Mrs. Block for her question.
Yes, and I think all of us on the government side are very grateful to this committee for studying the issue of jurisdiction and security in the parliamentary precinct. As I've said, law enforcement described the public order event last winter as being “unprecedented” in terms of its scope, size and disruption. I think we should take this matter very seriously.
We look forward to not only your recommendations but to the recommendations that may be put forward by the joint parliamentary committee reviewing the invocation of the Emergencies Act as well as Judge Rouleau, who is undertaking an independent public inquiry.
