I believe the question is addressed to me. Mr. Chair, if you will allow me, I will answer.
All that video footage is passed on to the police services for prosecution, so they can find out who has committed the outrageous lack of respect.
I have one in front of me. On January 29 at 5:26 in the morning, two individuals who appeared to be males, wearing black coats, arrived at the southeast area of the monument and they did what they had to do. That was reported to the police with a clear image from camera number 12. That is the kind of monitoring that is done.
I would also like to put into perspective that for the last five years, we are talking about 17 incidents—five of those happening in the last three weeks. Take into consideration that with approximately five million Canadians visiting the site over the last five years, there have been 17 incidents.
I think the committee has to look at that when they make recommendations with respect to how open the site is versus locking the site up and preventing Canadians from accessing the site.
