Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):
The overall objective of this initiative was to provide safe and secure events for world leaders, participants and citizens. The Government of Canada had an obligation to ensure that security measures were put in place as the host country of those two major international events.

Public Safety's role was to provide advice and support to partners in safety and security matters related to the G8/G20 Summits. Included in this was the reimbursement to provincial and municipal security partners for incremental, reasonable and justifiable costs incurred in relation to the G8/G20, as per the terms and conditions for the Security Cost Framework Policy in Relation to the 2010 G8/G20 Summits. More specifically, the objective of the Security Cost Framework Policy in Relation to the 2010 G8/G20 Summits was to obtain the cooperative participation of provincial and municipal security partners by reimbursing them, through contribution agreements, for eligible incremental policing and security-related costs incurred in relation to these events.

Governance Structure(s):
The overall security planning and operation for the G8/G20 Summits was coordinated under the Office of the Coordinator for the 2010 Olympics and G8/G20 Summits housed within the Privy Council Office (PCO). All federal departments with security roles and responsibilities worked in collaboration with the Coordinator's Office to plan and deliver the necessary security operations for both 2010 Summits.
