Maybe I'll just back up a little bit for the committee's interest.
The Water Security Agency in Saskatchewan is a unique organization in the country. In it everything water-related is under one agency. We advance different water management initiatives that are required to support the provincial economy and the quality of life for Saskatchewan residents while protecting the environment.
We're responsible for all the regulation in the province. We handle the water licences to different users, regardless of who the user is. We do a number of monitoring activities to make sure the rivers and the water streams are safe.
Our concern right from the get-go, when we had some early conversations, was that it not duplicate services that were already provided within our province, because we already provide those. The agency is there to help provide some funding opportunities, as Mr. Orb spoke about earlier, or maybe some of that science or collaboration or the research side.
