Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yes, we will certainly try to see if we can arrange for those meetings. I can indicate to the honourable Member that, really, my colleague, the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, is the key Minister in this issue. I can indicate also what was identified for the Izok Lake development. We are talking about total number of requirements, not only those who were part of the production of that project, but overall positions. We were able to identify the overall requirements. Those requirements may be applicable, also, in the diamond mining industry. It is just a matter of the training that is required and it could be that we have already been able to identify that. I believe we have already met with the Dogrib communities, as well, identifying positions. So, we have already done some of the work, and what we probably need to do is be more specific about the actual job requirements and training requirements specific to the diamond industry.
