Mr. Speaker, Mr. Kakfwi is developing a paper for Cabinet which is going to put together an overall, one window, strategic approach to this issue. There will be a political as well as bureaucratic component to it. I am optimistic that will be concluded this week. I have already committed in the House, along with Mr. Kakfwi, to sit down with both federal Ministers to try to give them another point of view as it relates to Canadian and northern diamonds.
As I said to Mr. Martin, "Would Mr. Tobin allow this to happen in Voisey Bay? Would Mr. McKenna allow this to happen in New Brunswick? Why should Mr. Morin be allowed to let this happen in the Northwest Territories?"
