Mr. Drew Harris:

Forgive me if I do not address the specific security issues the Senator raised in that question. In general, we are here to protect democracy and part of that is protecting the institutions and the individuals who are integral to those institutions. We will not fail to do that. In respect of protests that are mounted close to or at people's homes, that is a scaling up of what one would call general protest activity. Those who engage in it need to understand that they must ensure they do not engage in behaviour, in any shape or form, which could be regarded as a breach of the peace or intimidatory. We will have no tolerance for that. Demonstrating outside a Government building is an entirely different kettle of fish from demonstrating at somebody's home.
