Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome.
Saskatchewan, I firmly believe, still has a wonderful and bright future ahead of it. Crop yields will continue to be one measurement and will continue to rise. For the use of potash in the future, there'll still be a strong demand for that commodity. Yes, it is cyclical, but things go on, and you need to feed people in the world, whether it's in India, China, here in North America, or wherever else.
Technology is helping with that, with geopositioning and all those wonderful things, so in my terms I look at Saskatchewan and I think it's uniquely positioned, whether it's lentils or even oil. RBC came out with a report yesterday saying that there has been such a cutback in capital investment in the oil industry that you're going to move into a situation where demand is continuing to rise for oil globally, and you'll see a steady recovery in oil prices in the years to come. It may not go to where it was prior to this, because I think that was—and this is a personal opinion—a self-induced bubble from quantitative easing and all the money or liquidity that went into commodity funds.
I do wish to ask, on the investments you're making in clean technology or in that vein, if you can give us some colour on that. I do believe innovation in clean technology is the way on many levels, including with regard to oil and gas and other industries, but if you can talk about that area, that would be wonderful.
