Mr. Chair, and through you to the member, thank you again for the question.
I would make two points that I believe were important to the way we conducted business in Saskatchewan during very difficult times, and I think they're equally important today.
First, I think it's fundamental that, whether dealing with financial institutions, credit rating agencies, or corporations that want to sell things to the government, you deal with them in a very market-related way. That was very much the approach we took in Saskatchewan. We took a very market-oriented approach.
Second, we developed ongoing relationships with market participants. In doing so, we were successful in keeping the name of Saskatchewan, a relatively small province, at the top of the list of certain financial institutions during very difficult financial market times.
I think that being market-oriented, aware of the industry, is certainly important, as well as building solid business relationships. It was important and is important going forward.
