Mr. Speaker, that was extremely good information, but what I am looking for is has the Minister considered approaching the diamond producers, encouraging them to offer some diamonds for sale in the NWT? I believe there are excellent opportunities for travel to the territories, at least in discussions I had with buyers in Toronto. They say they would be more than happy to spend two hours on a plane to come to the NWT, as opposed to eight hours going to Antwerp. They suggested if there was a good and constant supply, they would come here to buy their diamonds. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
