Inflated budget edit delete[edit]

Need an opinion from other editors. Is the below section biased as an editor claimed when removing it due to perceived bias? Note that I used CBC and Ontario's Auditor General report as sources:

There were critics that claimed the government inflated the budget^[1] and Ontario's Auditor General did release a special report in 2016 that stated that the 2009 bid budget was $342 million less that the final budget.^[2]

I do not perceive it as biased, but I would suggest a change of "did release" to "released". Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:59, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
