Tuesday that the original $113-million security tab for Torontos 2015 Pan Am
Games was just a "place holder" number, and warned the latest estimate of $239
million could go higher. The Toronto 2015 Pan Am organizing committee came up
with the figure because they had to put something in the bid book that helped
secure the international event for the city, said Tourism Minister Michael Chan.
"The $113 million was presented a long time ago, in 2010, and it was a place
holder because security has to be there," said Chan. "You probably will
appreciate TO2015 doesnt have the skills, they dont have the expertise, they
dont have any knowledge about security." Saad Rafi, who took over as the CEO of
the TO2015 Pan Am organizing committee after Ian Troop was fired, said he wasnt
involved when the citys bid was prepared and couldnt say where the $113 million
estimate came from. Officials wouldnt have had a good handle on the number of
athletes and coaches that would be coming or how many venues would be used and
in what communities when they prepared the security estimate for the bid book,
added Rafi. "I think a myriad of elements and factors go into generating an
estimate of costs," he said. "If you want a more detailed answer Im afraid we
couldnt give it because we werent there to submit the bid book." The Opposition
demanded Chan resign or be fired after the security bill for next years Games
more than doubled. "The minister and this government and TO2015 and everyone
involved in these games doesnt have a clue whhats going on," said Progressive
Conservative critic Rod Jackson.

Chan bristled at suggestions he should have known what the original $113 million
estimate for security at the Games was based on. "I wasnt there," he said. "Do
you really want to know why they had that number in there? Theres probably a
reason for that." The $239-million tab for security will likely change before
the Games start in July 2015, but could go down or up, added Chan. "Anybody who
thinks that number will be stationary, will not move, I think that would be
unreasonable because we still have a year and five months before the Games and
lots of things can happen," he said. "And that number can go down if we control
costs, or security may go up. This is the nature of the Games." Rafi announced
the Games were on schedule and on budget so far, and admitted one of his biggest
concerns was getting people interested in the Pan Am competitions. "We want to
engage the public and create a sense of excitement which will drive their
participation in festivals as well as the Games themselves," he said. "We want
to make sure we can maximize our ticket revenue." The 2015 Pan Am Games will
take place at 34 different competition venues across the Golden Horseshoe, from
Niagara in the south to Orillia in the north, running from July 7 to 26,
followed by the Parapan Am Games Aug. 7 to 15. The total budget for the Games is
now estimated at $2.5 billion.
