Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, we have not. If we had, for example, someone saying to us from the federal government or mining industry, that the very most you can expect is to be revenue neutral, then those diamonds may as well stay in the ground because we have to benefit as northerners. We have to benefit from the development of our resources. Those are our diamonds and we have to benefit in order for the future to be better for our children. We have to think of the children ahead. We cannot just think of today and what job spinoffs we get from a diamond mine. We have to think more long range. Thank you.
