Thank you, everyone, for being here.
What strikes me and all members of this committee is that when we come to a province or a city to hear from a panel of witnesses, we get a very good snapshot of what's occurring, all the bright spots—certainly all the challenges as well—in Saskatchewan and elsewhere. It's pretty clear that a lot is going on in this province. For that, I salute you.
I want to ask SARM, perhaps Mr. Hall as well, and frankly anyone else who would care to comment, to perhaps expand a little on the following. We have phase two of infrastructure funding coming. Certainly this government has made infrastructure of all kinds a priority, not just traditional water, sewer, roads, and so on, but also social infrastructure of the kind that Mr. Moran addressed in his presentation.
Could you just comment a little more on funding formulas for rural communities?
You mentioned there's a cost-sharing arrangement, Mr. Orb, that you're looking for. How is that going with the province? Are things working smoothly? Is the framework in place so that those funds can be spent quickly? I'd ask you to comment on that, and perhaps Mr. Moran and Mr. Hall as well.
