Thank you, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to the witnesses for appearing today.
Inspector Rai, I think you've struck upon one of the stronger points of the legislation—deterrence. You'll never stop everyone from wearing a mask if people set their mind to it. But deterrence is an arm that the police have to be able to use. You were on the ground the day of the riots, so I'd like to canvass some of the mayhem that fell out of this.
Were private citizens, innocent bystanders, assaulted in these Vancouver riots? Are you aware of that?
