Yes, thank you for that question.
Through you Chair, back to the member, I do strongly support the precinct moving onto Wellington and Sparks Street north.
Again, we saw in January and February that a local police force could not do both. It could not be present through a major conflict on Wellington. It wasn't on the Hill. It wasn't on your grounds. It was on Wellington Street.
The local police force could not be present there through this major event and still have the capacity to be in the abutting neighbourhoods. They do abut. The city of Ottawa is unique that way, and I think it's a good thing that our Parliament and residential neighbourhoods function together. At a time like this, it meant that police were not available to residents to be able to respond to safety concerns.
I believe that is what led to much of the chaos, aggressions and threats that we saw in our residential neighbourhoods through the occupation.
