Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Very clearly it seems to me, we are developing a Canadian diamond industry and northern diamond industry. Can the Minister indicate how he intends to address BHP's attempt - I want to use the phrase mule-headedness - in going their own way and not being accountable to the people in the north? I know you say you are meeting with the Ministers, the federal Ministers and with Mr. Kakfwi. I would just like some assurance, I guess, that though they are a very large company, someone like BHP cannot dictate public policy as we develop or try to develop the framework for our northern and Canadian diamond industry. Thank you.
