TORONTO - Ontarios Liberal government cannot say what the budget is for security and transportation at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, Tourism and Sport Minister Michael Chan admitted Thursday. cheap jerseys . "We dont have a finalized number on that," Chan admitted to reporters after ducking Opposition questions in the legislature. "Look at the Vancouver (Olympics), where they had one number come out on security and they had to revise it about four or five times, so I dont want to speculate." The final bill for security at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics came in at just under $1 billion, almost five times the original budget. The Ontario government was already under fire for admitting the $700 million cost of building the athletes village for the Toronto games is not included in the $1.4 billion budget, and the Opposition accused the Liberals of trying to hide the final bill. "Theyve decided theyre going to have that $1.4 billion budget to cover a certain amount of things, and then any time anything comes up thats going to inflate that budget, theyre going to put it somewhere else and not be honest with the public about what these games are really going to cost," said PC critic Rod Jackson. The Progressive Conservatives said the Liberals wasted over $1 billion cancelling gas plants to save seats in the 2011 election, and the fact they still dont know the budget for security and transportation at the Pan Am Games is appalling. "For him to not be able to answer what the security and transportation costs are going to be for the Pan Am Games is terrifying to me," said Jackson. "This is a minister who doesnt have a grip, is a disaster on this file, and he needs to step down." The New Democrats also lashed out at Chan for refusing to say what the government has budgeted for security and transportation at the international sporting event. "Its another example of a government claiming it wants to be open and transparent and not doing the basics like letting people know what the costs are at the games," said NDP Leader Andrea Horwath. "You cant claim you want to be transparent and open and then not provide figures and information when asked by the opposition." But Chan was insistent that he did not want to provide a budget figure now only to have to change it later on, and he lashed out at the Conservatives for saying the security bill alone will be hundreds of millions of dollars. "Mr. Rod Jackson mentioned a lot of numbers but to me those are rubbish numbers, fantasized numbers, because at the moment I dont have a number," he said. Jackson said he doesnt know if the Liberals have a budget figure for security and transportation that they dont want to release or if they truly dont have a budget yet. "Either way, its appalling and terrifying that this government doesnt have a grip," he said. The government had to tell officials with the TO2015 Pan Am committee to tighten the rules on expenses after some questionable claims by executives, who are eligible for a total of $7 million in bonuses for staying on the job until the event is over. wholesale jerseys . The last two games, however, the Padres have been resolute. Chris Denorfia hit a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning and San Diegos bullpen was stingy with runners on base, leading the Padres to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. cheap nfl jerseys . - Scott Dixon became the latest driver to deny Roger Penske an IndyCar championship, wrapping up his third title Saturday night in a race of attrition at Auto Club Speedway. http://www.cheapnfljerseyfromchina.net/ . 21-year-old rookie Jake Gardiner is seemingly never tired, despite the heavy minutes hes logging this season for the Leafs. NORCROSS, Ga. -- At 31 and a longtime member of the ATP world tour, James Blake knew what to expect coming back from a long rain delay. "I think generally it favours the person whos down because theyve got a chance to stop the momentum and get back out there with a new attitude where they feel like theyre the underdog," he said. "Youve got a little bit of a nothing-to-lose attitude and you can play your best tennis." Blake rallied to win a second-set tiebreaker and overcame a one-hour 18-minute rain delay Monday night for a 5-7, 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory over Ernests Gulbis of Latvia in the first round of the Atlanta Tennis Championships. "I wanted to really focus on getting that hold and once I did, I definitely let loose in that 4-2 game where he was serving," Blake said. "I felt like if I could get a break there, it would make life a little easier for me." Blake will face No. 3 seed John Isner, his friend and doubles partner, in the second round. No. 8 seed Somdev Devvarman of India held off Ryan Sweeting 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 to earn a second-round match against Japans Tatsuma Ito, a 7-6 (6), 6-4 winner over Michael Berrer of Germany. Gilles Muller of Luxembourg beat No. 7 seed Alex Bogomolov Jr., 6-3, 7-6 (6). Michael Russell advanced to a second-round meeting with No. 2 seed Kevin Anderson of South Africa with a straight-set win over Donald Young. Isner, the runner-up to defending champion and top-seeded Mardy Fish last year in Atlanta, isnt exactly looking forward to facing Blake. "He is always going to be a tough out," Isner said. "To be honest if he wins tonight I would rather not play him only because he is a good friend of mine. Its a tough dynamic when you play a good friend but it is what it is so we will see." On Tuesday, No. wholesale nfl jerseys. 5 seed Grigor Dimitrov, a former junior No. 1, will face qualifier Rajeev Ram. Sixth-seeded Igor Kunitsyn of Russia plays qualifier Marinko Matosevic of Australia Isner, who starred at the University of Georgia and is ranked 35th in the world, is looking forward to playing the crowd favourite for the second straight year even though the event has moved seven miles south from the swank Atlanta Athletic Club. "This is definitely a kind of a hometown feel for me given all the Georgia fans in this area and in this state," Isner said. "I remember all the support I had last year. It was phenomenal, so I hope to get that same support this year. Thats one of the main reasons I played well and made it all the way to the finals last year." For Blake, the key to beating Gulbis timing his opponents serve. "It was tough," Blake said. "He can be very sneaky. He can play great, especially with the way he served at the end of the first set and at the beginning of the second set. There wasnt really much I could do. There wasnt really much anybody could do with the way he was serving there." Blake had to manage an emotional letdown even though the stadium court of the Racquet Club of the South had nearly cleared out after the rain delay. "Just kind of staying the course, I played a couple of loose points there at 4-all in the second but I didnt want to hang my head and get down and say that it was impossible to break him," he said. "Anyone, no matter how good they are, they feel that pressure when theyre serving out the match. I almost gave it back at the end, too. Got down 30-love on a couple of big serves by him and then got some looks at a couple of second serves and took advantage." cheap jerseys ' ' '
