Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am sure that people will take credit for all the good things that have happened to date and no one will rush to take the blame for the areas where we have been less than diligent and able to maximize benefits on. Our primary objective with the federal government has been to point out the concerns we have had regarding the ability of ourselves and the federal government to articulate what are the maximum economic benefits we want to realize and if there are reasons for us not to try to take certain actions, then to prepare for explaining to Canadians and to northern people why we are not; that is, arguably the federal Ministers and ourselves recognize that both the federal government and ourselves are perhaps relying too much, at least in the case of the federal government, externally it appears that on some minor federal official, by the name of Joe Lazarovich, for some reason he seems to be the lone ranger speaking and advising the federal government on diamonds.

He is the only name that comes up in discussions with people in the diamond industry in Europe. On our part it seems people are aware in London and Antwerp and elsewhere of our Ministers, certainly Mr. Todd, Mr. Dent and other Members of the Legislature who have taken the time and the effort to make themselves well known and acquaint themselves with the people in the diamond industry in the international community.

The federal government has recognized that we need to get more outside advice, perhaps less advice from the likes of Joe Lazarovitch and more from people who actually deal with diamonds, in the selling, marketing and the manufacture. So, both of us have agreed that we will largely rely on outside expertise, international expertise from the diamond industry, from the diamond dealing community, to help us in our deliberations in that task force. Thank you.
