Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I managed to get the actual wording that is in the budget and I think it will be of some value to the Members. I think all of us earlier this morning in our Cabinet Caucus meeting are encouraged by this. Both the Premier, Mr. Kakfwi and myself have spoken vigorously about the need for the diamond industry to benefit northerners and we are much more optimistic that will occur. This is what it says:
The federal government is committed to working with the territorial governments and other northern partners to develop a modern economic development strategy that recognizes the dynamics of the north and the need to establish a more diverse economy. It makes specific reference to development of traditional economies, knowledge-based economies and a new diamond industry.
That is encouraging Mr. Speaker. Again, I want to applaud, my Cabinet colleague's efforts and the two MPs for getting this detailed stuff into the budget. I think it is a first, quite frankly. It indicates the federal government is certainly prepared to sit down with the territories and work toward a new economic partnership. Thank you.
