Procedure and House Affairs committee  Through you, Madam Chair, I'll go back to Mr. Sloly again. When we look at this context of where we're at and what we've learned, what powers did your officers require that didn't already exist in order to deal with the occupation?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Through you, Madam Chair, I've also read that there was an increased amount of absenteeism in the Ottawa police during that time. I'm just wondering if you could speak to that and to whether there was any related cause to that increase of absenteeism. Did that actually have an im

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Through you, I thank the witnesses for being here today. Mr. Sloly, you have said repeatedly in your testimony today that you were unprepared and that this was something beyond anything you could have imagined or other sectors could have imagined. My curi

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Through the chair, there wasn't the appropriate intelligence. I hear what you're saying there, but is part of the challenge the multijurisdictional area? Listening to other testimony from other jurisdictions, this is a very unique overlap area. It felt like there was a lot of mis

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Through you, Madam Chair, I'm wondering if Senator White has anything to add.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that, Madam Chair. I would ask the minister a following question. It would be helpful to have some sort of stance on what resources would be included. If the committee's going to make wise recommendations then knowing the costs associated with that would be really

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I'd like to go back to Minister Tassi. I would assume that, through this process of all the changes that are happening to the precinct, there are conversations that are happening with the indigenous people of this land. I thank you for acknowledging them

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that. Minister Mendicino, I am just really curious. We know that there continue to be conversations about jurisdiction—who did what and when, what this should have looked like, and how collaboration between all of the different police forces should happen in the fu

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Through you, perhaps I could come back to Ms. Tassi. I thank both the ministers very much for being here, but I've heard her mention again and again this idea of jurisdiction and the challenges with jurisdiction. Practically, what would the change be if

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I would, Madam Chair, and if I could, I'll direct it to Chief Bell. One of the things I'm curious about is that, if the precinct is increased and that jurisdiction is increased, who would support small businesses, which I know suffered tremendously through this during the occup

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sure. My last question has to do with the expansion of the streets and what that would include. With that inclusion, I guess.... I don't know. No, I don't have a question. It's for PPS and I don't think that they're here, so I'll just leave it at that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Through you, Madam Chair, again to Chief Bell, in your statements earlier you talked about the need for a deep collaboration. Are those structures in place now? Have we learned from the experience we lived through? I guess the other part of that question is that right now Welli

Procedure and House Affairs committee  My question was just around the blocks that are there now on Wellington and the impacts that had. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that. Through you again, Madam Chair, perhaps I could ask a question of Deputy Commissioner Duheme. I appreciate your earlier statements. You talked a lot about the support for this study, the importance of having this conversation, and of course always the impor

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. Through you, Madam Chair, could I ask what the impact will be on the PPS, then, specifically if the precinct grows?
