Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am trying to wrap my head around this. A political decision was made to hold two summits at the same time. One of those summits was held in a remote riding, which led to a lot of extra spending. We know that the Ontario Provincial Police had to have special communication towers built. You had to assume certain costs, such as the $5 million for rental vehicles for the RCMP. I want you to explain what that amount was for. Initially, the decision came down from politicians, but there was no financial planning.
As members, we cannot be accountable to the public because we do not know what the budget was to start with. We cannot estimate and check whether the money spent on the two summits was in line with operational budgets.
This is for you, Mr. Boisvert. Earlier, you told me that the threat assessment in terms of participants was medium. What was the threat assessment for the Olympic Games in Vancouver?
