Altogether for both the G-8 and G-20, there was a total of 19,000 security personnel involved in this operation. It was very substantial security operation, perhaps the largest in Canadian history. Of course, the numbers were based on two very different sites that were a great deal of distance apart.
In Toronto, we had two areas of responsibility. One was the summit site, which was primarily the responsibility of the integrated security unit. Then there was the security on the streets of Toronto, which was primarily the responsibility of my service, but we had a lot of help in doing it. We had police services from across Canada, including the RCMP and the OPP, but there were also police services from Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, and throughout the province of Ontario as well as the province of Quebec. They came to Toronto and they worked very closely with us to help keep our city and our community safe throughout that weekend.
Frankly, without their help, we would not have been able to maintain the safety of our city, given the threat that existed.
