Government Operations committee  Mr. Chairman, I know there are some inquiries of various organizations in respect of some of the specific tactics used in the G-8 or G-20, or alleged to have been used in them. Those will ultimately go forward, and there will be a finding at some point. So I'm not going to commen

Government Operations committee  Pardon?

Government Operations committee  I can't speak off the top of my head to the glow sticks, but I would suspect, Mr. Chairman, that if there had been problems around the G-8 site in Huntsville, they probably would have needed more glow sticks than they may have otherwise used in what was a relatively quiet meeting

Government Operations committee  The budget estimate was ultimately $930 million, with a $50 million contingency.

Government Operations committee  As to the amount that was actually appropriated in estimates, I can't remember the exact number, but I think it's about $833 million. But that would not include EBP or accommodation costs; those would be the actual estimates numbers, roughly.

Government Operations committee  I think, as Mr. McGovern said, the infrastructure spending costs came out of neither the security budget nor his budget for the G-8 and the G-20.

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chairman, as I said, we don't actually have a final number for RCMP expenditures at this juncture. The numbers that were included in estimates are the numbers that were included in estimates, and those are the numbers the RCMP was authorized to spend. The estimates numbers,

Government Operations committee  I can, at some point, if the committee wishes. The numbers in estimates are the numbers in estimates, and I couldn't provide anything better than those. In terms of the final numbers, it won't actually be my responsibility to deal with the final numbers, but I'd certainly be happ

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chairman, there was a security plan, which was developed by the Integrated Security Unit with the cooperation of the various police forces involved. As a consequence of that, there were estimates of what would be required to deliver that security plan; it was costed out. Ther

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chairman, I'd have to get back to you. As I said, my office has been closed down for some time, and I haven't seen any recent numbers from the RCMP in terms of actual expenditures.

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chairman, the overall security force was roughly 10,000, of which 2,500 were military for specific purposes.
