Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for Mr. Kakfwi, the Minister of Renewable Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development regarding the diamond issue. As I spoke earlier, we were taken aback by the move of Mr. Lazarovich not appearing before the Yellowknife Task Force on looking at the diamond valuation and sorting facility to be established in Yellowknife. I understand that the Minister and the Minister of Finance met with the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development's Minister and the federal Minister of Finance, and I understand that there were some discussions taking place that there may be further action on their part to be made with regard to attracting and putting the diamond and valuation sorting facility here in the north. Could the Minister tell us what action is being taken on the federal/territorial level? Thank you.
