The Commissioner is once again very welcome. I thank him for accepting the invitation to come in, and the deputy commissioner and assistant commissioner as well. Last week, the Commissioner said that this incident, or these incidents, could not have been anticipated. In his opening statement, though, he stated there was a series of protests in the last year or so and that they were anti-immigrant. I think the Commissioner accepts there had been a series of protests and 50 arrests have been made and files sent to the DPP. This was probably more than in any other year. I think the Commissioner would accept this point.
