In the minister's words, he didn't have the competence to answer many of the questions that I posed to him, so I'm going to turn back to some of the questions I was going at before.
Just today, Korea, which will be hosting the G-20, announced what their security price tag is going to be. They peg it at $24.9 million Canadian. Now, that's not a little off our figure; that's a world off our figure. If you look at Kananaskis, in Canada, if you want to take a domestic example—now admittedly that was the G-8—we're talking about a security tab that was around $200 million, which was significantly cheaper again.
I'm just trying to understand. What I heard in the statement earlier was that for the G-20 there was nowhere but downtown Toronto. Nowhere else could host. This was the only option. It was the best option, the most secure option, the cheapest option. Frankly, what I'm hearing is that you'd do it all over again. That's what really worries me about all of this.
So let me pose this to Madam Morin and to Mr. Elcock: looking at the rest of the world and best practices out there, is downtown Toronto the best place to put the G-20, and would you do it again?
