I see.

Once we learned that we were also going to be organizing the G20 Summit, why did we maintain this idea of holding these summits in two separate locations?

Canada is a country that has a tremendous number of quite varied tourist facilities that are very well able to handle this type of event.

Why was no consideration given to other locations, such as Montebello, Mont-Tremblant or Banff? Canada has plenty of locations that would be easier to secure where we could have held this type of event.
