Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I prefix my remark previously by acknowledging that I understood the Minister would deal with his counterpart, Ms. Stewart. I was

trying to ascertain if he had any conversations with other Ministers to see if they were knowledgeable on the topic but I accept the Minister's response to this. However, my question to the Minister is, the Government of the Northwest Territories and his department plays a minor roll, less important than the person who is directly writing the regulations. How many employees does the Minister have working on the diamond issue within the Government of the Northwest Territories' department? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
