Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have about four officials within the department who are engaging in the issue on our behalf. I should point out to the Member that, on the earlier part of the question, I was trying to respect the understanding and have not spoken to any other federal Ministers in regard to this issue. We do have a meeting on Monday with the Minister of Indian Affairs, Jane Stewart. We also have a meeting with the Minister of Finance at the same time. Mr. Todd will be in attendance and the royalty part of the diamond issue will be discussed with Mr. Martin. I expect that we will seek a meeting to discuss the policies of Natural Resources Canada, the Minister Ralph Goodale, to seek clarification on the application of the policies of that department in regard to diamonds in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
