Not speaking of any individuals, there are always considerations when police operations take place in areas that are politically sensitive. You may be familiar with what happened last week. There was a marine enforcement operation that occurred in the Cornwall region on the St. Lawrence River that actually resulted in a community confrontation with law enforcement authorities. So when developing police enforcement operations, we must always consider whether there is another way, without putting safety of individuals, not only police officers but the public, at risk. Can we achieve the enforcement outcome through a different enforcement effort?
