Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'm really shocked and worried. When my children ask me about prevention, I won't know what to tell them. To tell you the truth, I realize that the specialists we turn to for the inside story will always tell us something new.
So how will we be prepared for such events? I'm worried. I tell you, that's my big observation.
That said, we are still establishing new ways of doing things so that there is, in advance, a lead or a commanding officer.
I have a very simple question for you.
We knew in advance that trucks, possibly with explosives, would stop and not move. How is it that the Ottawa police, who had a duty to enforce regulations, took so long to set up a command post or do anything? They had means at their disposal, like issuing tickets or towing trucks.
What happened that we couldn't do something?
