The federal minister of public safety announced today that the government of Canada will put $647.5 million dollars towards security during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The feds are also on the hook for all cost overruns.
BC will pay an extra $165 million, bringing the province's total contribution to the security budget to $252.5 million dollars.
The announcement was made in Ottawa just following Obama's visit to the capital.
