That's a great question.
When it comes to assistance to law enforcement, this is something the Canadian Armed Forces can do, but it is something I think everybody has to be careful with. In the Canadian Armed Forces, we prefer to provide assistance to law enforcement in a supporting role. If there are ways we can assist law enforcement without performing law enforcement tasks ourselves, that's always better, for multiple reasons.
When these discussions arise.... It requires very good discussions between the Minister of National Defence and the Minister of Public Safety, who would be making such a request. It is best to employ the Canadian Armed Forces in any role in the periphery of civil unrest, rather than dealing with the law enforcement itself.
