Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Premier. The Premier's recent statement on the GNWT's position on northern diamonds has raised a number of questions that I believe require clarification as these issues could conceivably affect all northerners and they should fully understand them. The Premier stated that $17 million on average per year, the territorial government could expect to receive as its share of the royalty regime, would not be sufficient to address the required infrastructure and social programs in support of the mine. I am wondering if the Premier could provide the House with a general idea listing of what the social program's infrastructure that we will need to put in place to accommodate the mine? Thank you.
