So that's where the $1.1 billion went: Liveblogging the PCO technical briefing on the cost of the G8/20 summit


We're doing our very best to track down an electronic version of the two-inch thick binder of G8/20 summit-related expenses that was tabled in the House earlier today -- and when we do, you'll be the first to know -- but in the meantime, I'm heading over to the Reading Room for a technical briefing on the contents, courtesy of the Privy Council Office, so get ready to hear what unidentified Senior Civil Servants have to say about the $1.1 billion total, which, it's worth noting, does not include the cost of compensation for damage and/or lost business. Check back at 2:30pm for full coverage!
