Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe that discussions are under way between ourselves and the Department of IAND with respect to this issue. It appears that mining isn't getting what we believe is the attention it should, in particular with the last two or three years' activities with relationship to diamonds. We are working closely with the DIAND office and Ottawa in an effort for them to recognize the importance that this industry has, and that they should move that particular function up the priority ladder. Thank you.
