Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Finance Minister for indicating the exact words used in the budget. The other question is, whether or not the federal Finance Minister is willing to use his budget and what he has indicated in his budget speech, whether he intends that to be used for this purpose? Is the Cabinet still adamant about purchasing diamonds to ensure there is a consistent supply of diamonds here in the north for a secondary industry?
