Canada Savings Bonds

Q186: Before the end of 2016, will the federal government officially announce that it is planning to end the Canada Savings Bonds program?
Yes: 5%
(A change in the program that substantially reduces its size and scope would also count)

A recent KPMG report recommended ending the Canada Savings Bond (CSB) program, because it is an uneconomic way for the government to raise money (see story here).  The government has indicated it has no plans to end the program, and I can find no evidence that the Liberals or NDP would end it either.  The program has existed since 1946.

Given the great longevity of the CSB program, I think that it is very unlikely that it will end in the next year and a half.  None of the major parties seem to support ending the program, and doing so would probably be politically unpopular.  A similar recommendation in 2004 to end the program was ignored.
