Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to all of the witnesses for providing testimony today. We've had a really good discussion on the impact to rural communities.

In 2017, the Saskatchewan provincial government ended its public funding for the Saskatchewan Transportation Company after 71 years. Dr. Jaffe, I want to direct this question to you, since you are from Saskatchewan. What rationale did the province offer at the time for eliminating public funding for the Saskatchewan Transportation Company, and what was the impact on the community?
