Yes, definitely. We are in favour of the expansion of Lake Diefenbaker. Not many years ago, there was an announcement by the federal government and the Province of Saskatchewan that they would expand irrigation. That was to further food production in our province, keeping in mind that water is very important, especially to farmers who need to irrigate.
We have the opportunity quite often to lobby the federal government. We do meet with the province, of course. We were told by the federal government that the costs of expansion would have to be borne by the province totally. They would need to borrow the money from the Canada Infrastructure Bank to be able to expand the irrigation.
We're of the opinion that is unfair, because the federal government does contribute to other infrastructure programs. I can think of rural broadband, of course. There's a federal program to further that across rural Canada. Also, in ICIP, the investing in Canada infrastructure program, there's a share of federal funding. We don't understand why the federal government says to our province that we need to borrow the money for an infrastructure program as important as this. We think that the federal government should be funding their share. In the case of all the other agriculture programs and things like that, the federal government bears the costs of 60% of a project. We think the federal government should be paying attention to that.
