Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my statement I also made reference to the fact that the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs had responsibility with respect to northern development. Resource development is an area they still control. I am pleased to hear Human Resources Development Canada is a participant in the Diamond Review Committee. I
just was wondering if the Minister was able to make contact with the federal Minister of Northern Affairs to impress upon her the need for the DIAND Department to also participate in this and to be a contributor and to anti-up to the need to attract these particular industries? Has the Minister been in touch with the federal Minister? Thank you.
