I think it's a good question.
Frankly, a question we hear more frequently from municipalities on the issue of fairness is the fairness of a system in which they propose stimulus projects and the federal and provincial governments choose and then tell them which projects are going to be eligible for funding. I think there's a fairness question about the way priorities are set.
I would say that you're right: the issue of the fairness of an extension was raised both before and during the stimulus program. A far more common concern about fairness is how municipalities are part of the priority-setting process and how decisions on what projects are funded are explained to municipalities.
