Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was one of those who was absent when the motion was made. We were over at the Aurora Campus for the opening of the campus building, a very beautiful education building indeed. Mr. Chairman, I would like to know and have some questions in the area of the Northern Accord. For sometime we have been talking about diamond mines that are potentially going to open in the north, the royalties and taxes that are going to the federal government which are astronomical in relation to the benefits the north will receive through royalties and taxes. I would like to know if there are currently any discussions to rectify this situation, so we can actually benefit more from royalties.
