Mayor Naheed Nenshi doesn’t buy the criticism some councillors have levelled against the Olympic Bid Exploration committee.
There have been suggestions of bias, but Nenshi is having none of it.
“In fact, council very clearly, to avoid political interference, voted to allow this committee to be chosen by administration, so that we wouldn’t interfere, and for some members of council to now try to interfere, well that’s not what you voted for,” he said.
Nenshi also says he hasn’t seen anything to suggest an athlete can’t make an objective decision.
