Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The federal government has relied almost solely on the advice and views of one official, and I think the establishment of the task force suggests that perhaps we should look for other sources of advice and expertise and that time will tell how valid the advice given to the federal government by this sole official has been. It is my view that the official has not given the best advice to the federal government in the past; that we can do better; that the idea of locating facilities off site, of looking at
detailed sorting, of a country like Canada making certain demands on the diamond producing companies is both desirable and legitimate; that there can be compelling arguments made to argue otherwise and that the task force is established to provide just that. So, hopefully, that will show more room for more thorough, well-based advice in the future that will get the federal government and ourselves working together for the benefit of all Canadians and, in particular, for northern peoples. Thank you.
