Thank you. I have a question, Mr. Speaker, for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism and it also has to do with diamond mining. I'm not as concerned as my colleague about the process or about this particular position, but what I am concerned about, though, are what steps the department has taken to look at the possibility of value-added jobs, whether they are in a sorting facility or in a cutting factory. At the end of the day, what my constituents are worried about are some real jobs and some real benefits. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
