Mr. Speaker, the possibilities are companies can train and/or just hire experienced workers in the diamond industry, workers who know how to cut, polish and work with diamonds. We think there are possibilities for setting up operations either on a factory basis or on a cottage industry basis. It certainly means there are spin-off opportunities, if such possibilities are realized through support industries such as the sale and maintenance of tools, possibly other activities that would be required as a result of operations like those being set up here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
