VANCOUVER - The Mounties say there's not enough money in the budget to cover security at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
RCMP spokesman Sergeant Pierre Lemaitre says it will cost more than the original $175 million earmarked for the games in 2002.
He says the Mounties had expected to secure 20 venues, but that number has jumped to more than 100.
Colin Hansen, the provincial minister in charge of the Games, denies the number of venues has gone up.
He says the RCMP has told his office they'll be needing more money, but he hasn't been officially told what was wrong with the original budget.
Lemaitre says the integrated security unit -- comprised of RCMP and officers from the West Vancouver and Vancouver Police departments -- hasn't come up with a new cost figure yet.
He says people shouldn't be worried about any security issues at the 17-day event.
