Thank you for your question. I echo your comments about the professionalism of the RCMP. Any operational organization involved in operations will be well served after any such incident, any operation that requires a very high level of implication for many people, to do post-action reviews. What we have started to see now in the public domain are some references to a number of organizations. You mentioned the Ottawa Hospital. There are a number of government departments in Ottawa. The Ottawa Police Service and the RCMP have engaged in a number of post-action reviews. In my experience, this is the only way you can really learn from what has happened to improve, build your procedures, and build your decision-making processes and exercises. These are the only mechanisms you have at your disposal to really be better prepared for another incident.
If there is one thing that history teaches us, it's that the next time around it will be something different. I hope this doesn't happen any time soon, but the next time something happens, it will be a different type of incident, a different type of attack. The advantage of having a unified approach is to build on the deep expertise of the House of Commons protective services, the Senate protective services, and the RCMP and to bring their expertise together into a unified organization that will hopefully deliver better and more effective security on the Hill.
To conclude, most organizations that I'm aware of have embarked on some kind of post-action report in order to, as you mentioned, learn and improve on their performance.
