Supplementary, Madam Speaker. My understanding is that the technology used in modern diamond mining is more benign than a lot of the technology used in other forms of mining. I think it is important that the Minister and his department become as familiar as they can with the actual technology that will be used. I wonder if I could ask the Minister for a commitment that the Minister will have his officials have a good look at the possibility of diamond mining, with a view to developing some positive relationships with the industry so that problems can be anticipated and solved in a timely manner?
