Mr. Speaker, as host nation of unprecedented back to back G8 and G20 summits we are proud of their success.
As we have said all along, the majority of the costs for the summits were security related. Approximately 20,000 security personnel were tasked with safeguarding both summits.
Disclosing the full to date details of the costs of these summits is further proof of our government's commitment to transparency and accountability.
