In question period this morning, Hamilton East-Stoney Creek NDP MPP Paul Miller called on the Liberal government to come clean about the real cost of the Pan Am games.
“Will this Minister tell Ontarians when he will stop playing games when it comes to the cost of the Pan Am Games?” asked Miller.
Miller pointed out that the estimated costs provided by the government offer only “ballpark figures” and said that Ontarians deserve a better picture of exact costs, who is responsible for payment, and how much will be recouped, for example, by the sale of units in the Athletes’ Village.
“Even more concerning is that Ontario is the guarantor for any deficits, but the government still can’t tell us what the total price tag for the games will be,” warned Miller.
The Minister failed to address Miller’s real concerns, repeating instead the broad budget figures previously offered.
“Ontarians want to be assured that the games are going to come in on budget, as they keep saying, the best way to do this being to lay out the costs in plain figures,” said Miller. “When will this minister and this government commit to providing all the numbers and stop playing these games?”
