Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. Mr. Speaker, recent articles in the press have indicated the federal government is reviewing the royalty regime for diamond mines and these same reports have indicated that BHP, the company thought most likely to proceed with a mine in the new future, is opposed to any change in the royalty regime. Has the Government of the Northwest Territories been involved in discussing diamond royalties with the federal government?
