Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Premier in reference to the diamond mining situation here and the possible spin-offs. My question to the Premier is, has there been any consideration given to looking at placing these value-added industries in the eastern Arctic, for example, in my communities, Arviat and Baker Lake, where there is 72 percent unemployment? Thank you.
