As I understand it, communication was unfortunately lacking in an emergency situation. In addition, there is an isolation aspect which is unacceptable for our valuable witnesses, who are doing prevention and intervention.
We are also here to determine whether you would have more freedom to provide upstream services if the parliamentary precinct were expanded.
We were told that the police department knew about this on January 13, when on January 11, you were already aware of what was going to happen. Since there is a limit, and when you go beyond that limit, you cannot communicate or exercise certain powers, I find it difficult to tell my fellow citizens and my children that we are well protected.
We have offices on Sparks Street and there are administrative offices on Queen Street. Could the expansion of the parliamentary precinct help with prevention and security for parliamentarians?
