Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Finance in regard to the revenues from the diamond industry. Mr. Speaker, the diamond industry as we know is a multi-billion dollar industry. Upon reflection, we must admit that it was a diamentaire other than Mr. Burne in London who was not familiar with Yellowknife's modern buildings. The situation still exists that non-northerners and even non-Canadians heavily influence the amount of benefits that northerners will receive from the diamond industry. Could the Minister refresh our memories on the magnitude of revenues that will go to the federal government from the diamond industry in the north? Thank you.
