The committee’s eight recommendations include that the same streets be part of the Parliamentary Protective Service’s jurisdiction either way and that Wellington Street remain closed to traffic between Kent Street and the National War Memorial.Article content “The committee recognizes the importance of ensuring the safety and security of parliamentarians, staff and all persons within the parliamentary precinct, while seeking to preserve the welcoming and open character of the nation’s capital.”
This group would “establish an effective and consistent plan in the event of incidents on Parliament Hill,” the report says. It would meet at least twice a year and start work on a “real post-mortem of the various incidents that have taken place on Parliament Hill over the past 20 years.” Conservatives took issue with the idea that government would be so heavily involved in security decisions and disagreed with the changes to Parliament Hill jurisdiction, saying the committee was going “too far, too fast.”
