Thank you, Madam Chair. Has the Minister given any thought to educating more federal Ministers on the opportunities that Canada is going to miss out on, if this new diamond industry is not given the profile it deserves at the national level? I was astonished at the lack of basic knowledge among federal MPs that I talked to on this national topic. As it is Canada that will lose out of this royalty regime if it is not handled from Canada's interest first. Thank you, Madam Chair.
