The solution to adopt, to ensure the security of parliamentarians, includes a geographical expansion of the PPS's mandate, so that it takes in part of Wellington Street and potentially other streets. The SPP's mandate is really performed based on the premises to be protected, that is, Parliament Hill and the parliamentary precinct.
At present, Wellington Street is not part of Parliament Hill, under the definition given in the Parliament of Canada Act. As I said in my testimony, the street is the property of the City of Ottawa. The proposal to extend the ground covered by Parliament Hill to take in Wellington Street and other portions of streets, and take the necessary measures for those streets to become the property of the federal government, is certainly a potential solution.
