Perhaps we should point out that the bulk of the costs associated with the G8 and G20 are to be taken care of by other departments; PCO only has the function of coordinating some of the security efforts. That's the reason Madam MacPherson is talking in terms of $2 million going to $1 million and eventually going to nothing once the function is not required. Obviously the security costs for the G8 and the G20 are much more extensive than that, but they are not within the PCO budget.
