Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. Police discretion is important. The police must be able to act within the bounds that they find acceptable. The current powers delegated to the municipalities and the provinces would have been able to cover most of the situations that have occurred. The problem is that they did not act soon enough. I do not think that the issue is a lack of authority. I do not think that there has been a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms at all.
