Peter Sloly said Thursday the protest represents a “paradigm shift” in the kinds of security events facing Ottawa.

Peter Sloly said Thursday the protest represents a “paradigm shift” in the kinds of security events facing Ottawa and he is calling for the street in front of Parliament Hill to be closed to vehicles to prevent another massive national security threat.

Police intelligence did not know the scale of the protest that was coming, and Sloly said the information they had at the time didn’t suggest that any area needed to be blocked off. A jurisdiction change also wouldn’t completely solve the communication issues between the six police agencies that operate in and around Parliament Hill, he said.

“The City of Ottawa simply does not have the capacity to protect federal properties during major national events, and also patrol our neighbourhoods.” Sloly told the House of Commons procedure committee the easiest way to prevent another national security threat from approaching Parliament Hill would be to close Wellington Street to traffic and install barriers and bollards to control the flow of people and potential threats.

Sen. Vernon White, who served as Ottawa police chief from 2007 to 2012, also told the committee he’s been advocating for the closure of Wellington Street and Elgin Street near the National War Memorial since a terrorist stormed the Hill in 2014.
