I can answer that question.

The program really does end in 2014. Then it will be up to the government to decide whether or not it will be renewed. As a public servant, all I can tell you is that we will be there to provide advice when decisions are made.

The program was designed for small communities. Its scope has already been extended to include cities of 250,000 and more. That is an option that will be one of the considerations in terms of a possible renewal in 2014. I cannot express an opinion on it.
