Mr. Holland (Ajax—Pickering), seconded by Mr. Simms (Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor), moved, — That, in the opinion of the House, while Canadians are justifiably proud of Canada’s upcoming hosting of the G-8 and G-20 summits and determined to provide effective and efficient security for the visiting world leaders, they are outraged at the reckless partisan choices and financial mismanagement that have caused the security budget for the summits to skyrocket to over $1 billion which is more than six times the original budget and more than was spent on security for the 2010 Winter Olympics which lasted for 17 days and therefore the House calls on the government to provide a detailed breakdown to Canadians of how the money earmarked for security is being spent and an explanation of how the security budget was permitted to spiral out of control. |
