Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have always been on record, as this government has always been on record, that development in the north, whether it be diamond mining, gold mining or whatever, should be number one and benefit the communities closest to them. We do have community benefit agreements that are signed. For example, we do have a socio-economic agreement signed with this diamond mine, as well where the pickup points are, it has been fairly clear from day one, so as a position of the government and position of the mining company, basically. Thank you.
