Thank you, Madam Chair. Following up on Mr. Steen's comments, I will also have a couple of questions on diamonds. The socio-economic agreement, this document was negotiated and signed by the Government of the Northwest Territories, Mr. Irwin at the time representing DIAND and BHP. This agreement spoke to the benefits that could accrue to northerners during the construction and the operation phase of the mine. My question to the Minster, is this the extent that the northerners can hope to benefit from the northern natural resource? Thank you, Madam Chair.
