Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would hope that we have made it clear. I've certainly spoken to the Minister about the issue of the mineral accord, in general. We all know that, to some extent -- and only to some extent -- that diamonds are driving the agenda a little more aggressively than perhaps it has in the past. We've indicated to him at some length -- not only myself, but my colleagues, Mr. Pollard and the Premier -- that we would like to see significant value-added benefits accrued from this development. I want to reiterate what I have said on a number of occasions. These are northern diamonds, therefore some benefits should accrue to northerners. Thank you.
