So call it an extra $3+ billion as an overrun.
Again, I'd say that we would be eating that. Not the federal government and we agree the private sectors are going to be helping. And going back to reading the news at the time, the IOC explicitly said they would not be helping on any overruns either.

If that’s the case then I don’t want it. My condition is net benefit to Calgarians exceeds net cost. I don’t give a flying **** about an Edmontonian’s share of Alberta’s contribution, nor a Torontonian’s share of the Fed’s contribution.
