NEW: Ottawa police chief wants to delay Wellington Street opening ottnews
Wellington Street has been closed in front of Parliament Hill for nearly a year since the 'Freedom Convoy' protests began.
Chief Eric Stubbs says a "whole security footprint analysis" of the street and the Parliamentary Precinct needs to be completed before the street opens to traffic. "I understand the need to have it open, but before opening though, I would prefer that all aspects of the security for the hill and that general area are analyzed, are developed, put into place and the funding is there and we sort of launch that new Parliament Hill that includes Wellington all at the same time."
