Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also understand that some countries who have diamond production, particularly South Africa, currently produce around 400,000 carats a year outside of the De Beers production. I also understand they have to offer a percentage of those diamonds for sale or tender before they are exported. Has the Minister considered this as an avenue of generating revenue for the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
