Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I will be splitting my time with my colleague a little later on.
Minister, you seemed to be saying earlier on that you were not very responsible for what happened. You say you were not informed of this. You are constantly deferring to Mr. Elcock, who should perhaps soon be appointed Minister of Public Safety, given the fact that he seems better informed and able to answer our questions than you are.
Perhaps you can tell us whether at least your department or even yourself—perhaps in cooperation with Mr. Elcock, who knows?—sent very clear directives as to security and the treatment of protesters? If so, what were these directives?
