Thank you very much.
That's a very good question. In the case of Saskatchewan, they actually rejected the federal government's offer of financial support in the context of the loss of the Saskatchewan Transportation Company.
In many ways, it was probably because the closure of the STC was likely connected to ideological reasons. It's not entirely clear why a government would refuse to take money to ensure that a company could run when the company was shut down for not making money,.
We've written some of this stuff up and published it in academic journals. Ideological considerations are probably the most logical explanation to make sense of such a decision by our government in response to the federal government.
