Security Costs Report for the Toronto 2010 G8 and G20 Summits
Key Points:
* The PBO was asked to assess the reasonableness of the security costs for the upcoming G8 and G20 Summits in Huntsville and Toronto.
* The Government of Canada has been relatively transparent, when compared to other countries, on the costs of security related to the summits. The total cost of security for the 2010 G8 and G20 Summits amounts to $930M, which includes $507M for RCMP, $278M for Public Safety, $78M for National Defence and a $55M contingency reserve.
* The PBO found it difficult to find comparable data of past events to assess the security costs related to the 2010 Summits. This is largely due to the lack of disclosure by other jurisdictions, differences in key considerations and cost drivers of summit security and differences between base versus incremental funding.

Voraussetzung ist jeweils ein ausdriickliches und hinreichend konkretes Ersuchen der zu unterstützenden Behörden. Die Initiative für Amtshilfeleistungen der Streitkrafte geht somit niemals von der Bundeswehr aus.

The Global Economy and Oil Markets: Developments and Prospects
After sharp price run-ups through mid-2008, the commodity price boom ended abruptly with the financial crisis and the onset of the global downturn. The collapse of commodity prices largely reflected much weaker demand prospects, with financial factors playing a secondary role.
