Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll try to answer briefly in respect of the time of Mr. Paul-Hus.
There is excellent coordination now taking place. I want to assure this committee and the country that there is coordination between the federal government and the provincial authorities that have jurisdiction and responsibility for the enforcement of law in the places where these disruptions are taking place.
As well, we've been very clear that our expectation is that Canadians will obey the law—that message has been sent clearly—and it is the responsibility of the police of jurisdiction. The nexus to these estimates is that in the jurisdictions where the RCMP provides contract policing services, which are arranged through provincial policing agreements, the additional costs of those things, not in respect of this particular action but in other matters, are reflected in these estimates.
Mr. Chair, I'd also say that we have confidence in the police of jurisdiction to do their jobs. They're doing that, and they're doing that carefully and peaceably to resolve this.
