The Quebec government says last summer's Outgames, which featured thousands of gay athletes from around the world, ended up losing more than $5 million.
Muncipal Affairs Minister Nathalie Normandeau says she's disappointed with the outcome, especially as the province gave organizers more than $3 million.
Organizers initially announced a $200,000 surplus but an auditor hired by the Quebec government found the Games were actually in the red.
Many of the cultural and sporting events drew far fewer spectators than expected.
