Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The companies that we have contacted and the diamentaires whom we have talked to, we have been having general discussions with them for the last year or so. It is important to note that many of the things that are required before firm commitments are made are not in place yet. However, we have made it known that we will do what we can to create a positive work environment for the diamond industry to be established here in the north. It means looking at areas of taxes, training dollars, providing monies either in terms of loans or contributions, to ensure it has a positive environment in which to be established. We have made no definite or extraordinary commitments other than those we use conventionally to encourage businesses to start up here in the north. Thank you.
