Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is to the Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, Mr. Kakfwi. Prior to Christmas, Mr. Speaker, I believe it is fair to say that this government and Ordinary Members of this House put up a sufficient unified voice that we finally got the ear of the federal government to listen to the concerns northerners had in prospects in the future diamond industry. I feel we did get the federal government's ear because as in all good governments, when they get under pressure, they form a committee to look at the situation. From that, came the federal-territorial diamond task force. Mr. Speaker, I recall where the task force had one evening where an individual did attend a function here in Yellowknife and I believe there has been a subsequent meeting. I would ask the Minister responsible, Mr. Kakfwi, if he could update this House and the people of the Northwest Territories as to where this diamond task force is at presently? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
