Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that we have concerns about the advice the federal government has been receiving in the past and the amount of time that has passed since the federal government should have been doing its planning and the strategic work preparing for the diamond industry. It is late in the day, and I think they are aware of that. We have said that we will, in good faith, work with the federal government together to do what we can to ensure that every possible economic benefit that should rightfully flow to Canadians and to Canadian people and northern people will be examined and maximizing every means available to us. That is where we focus our attention. A letter expressing our consternation with the views and the behaviour of certain officials could be fitted in there somehow, I am sure. Thank you.
