CKNW contacted Vanoc for comment on the chance the Olympic Athletes' Village will have to be completed at Vancouver taxpayers' expense, but no one would respond on tape.

Instead, 2010 organizers released a short, three-point statement via e-mail.

In the brief message, Dan Doyle, Executive Vice-President of Construction, is quoted as supporting the mayor and city in managing the project during "an extremely challenging economic environment."

He also says the city's been in constant contact with the organizing committee about the village but wouldn't say whether Vanoc would help financially.
