Mr. Speaker, we will see if the Deputy Prime Minister will deign to answer this question.
The decision to have the G-8 meeting in June split between the two sites means an increased security risk and an increased cost. Before the decision was taken to run these extra risks and costs, did the government receive written security assessments from the RCMP or other agencies on splitting delegates in two sites in Alberta? Further, was there advice from the RCMP or others which recommended against Ottawa as the first choice for the site for the summit? Will the minister table both those recommendations?
