Thank you for that question.
First off, I'll note that Saskatchewan does see itself diversifying its economy, based on traditional strengths that already exist in the natural resource base.
First, I would note agriculture. There are significant chunks of infrastructure now in place in Saskatchewan, particularly around the University of Saskatchewan. We have Canada's largest investment in a science instrument with the Canadian Light Source.
As well, we have VIDO, the Vaccine Infectious Disease Organization, and VIDO-InterVac.
We also have the Global Institute for Food Security. That institute itself is also propped up by $35 million, I believe, or $25 million, from PotashCorp of Saskatchewan, to invest in companies, really, to do things in the ag-bio sector. We have organizations like Ag-West Bio present, promoting the biotech sector across the world globally, and WED has been supportive of Ag-West Bio.
The province has also recognized agriculture as a key sector that it's going to be supportive of. In fact, they refer to their food, fuel, and fertilizer trifecta as to where they're going to play. Certainly that's one area.
Also, in resource extraction there is beginning to be a recognition that there is value in the development of extraction of resources to enhance oil recovery methods in reducing costs. Water reclamation around drilling and mining sites is key. Recently, WED supported a mine recovery facility whereby they're testing how to reclaim old mine sites. That is another cost savings piece for the mining industry itself.
There are a number of initiatives like that. We could probably provide a pretty strong list, but certainly there are things that are occurring in recognition that the commodity cycle needs to be broken.
