It doesn’t appear Ottawa will be offering up any new money for the embattled Francophonie Games in New Brunswick.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked about the funding during a stop in the New Brunswick community of Quispamsis this morning.
Trudeau reiterated his pledge to match a provincial proposal dollar-for-dollar, but didn’t say there would be additional money.
New Brunswick’s new Tory government has said the Games could be too expensive, with cost estimates ballooning to $130 million from the original bid of $17 million.
