Thank you. I appreciate that. And clearly, we all understand the nature of the border, on land and sea and in the air, and that all of that coordination takes place.
The implication from this article seemed to be that there was a role inside Canada for these U.S. agencies, and I'm encouraged to hear you suggest that's not the case and that it's basically a Canadian responsibility what happens inside Canada.
I have another question, perhaps more for clarification than anything. You referred, Vice-Admiral Donaldson, to the potential threats and you outlined some of them. One of them you called “criminal protests, and a hostage taking”. We understand there can be significant or serious criminal activities undertaken in the guise of a protest, but I do have concerns with that phraseology of yours, because as a lawyer, and as any lawyer would know, it's very easy to find within the Criminal Code methods of declaring a particular form of protest that most people might consider to be within the bounds of expression as criminal because it's in violation of parts of the Criminal Code dealing with unlawful assembly, causing a disturbance, or other parts of the code, which could turn these protests into criminal activities.
Could you tell us, Commissioner McDonell, what you would define as a criminal protest? Because I'm assuming it will be your people who will be defining that and determining whether such a thing is taking place.
