Thank you, Mr. Hopkins. You were very brief, so I want to pursue a few questions with you.
You represent the chamber of commerce, and I'm presuming that you have a fairly good grasp of the general Saskatchewan economy. Certainly, I come from Alberta, and it's grim and the prospects are even grimmer.
What would your assessment be of the Saskatchewan economy and where we're headed over the next couple of years? I want to get into this a little bit further. The reality of it is that most of the things we're advocating for are not going to show real returns for a few years. Even if Trans Mountain were approved tomorrow, the benefit of that is going to be further down the road.
Give me your general sense of where you see the Saskatchewan economy going. Clearly, Saskatchewan and Alberta have had a lot to do with the strong growth of the country over the past few years and I'm nervous about what's going to be happening because of that with the downturn.
