Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, I am confident that this government and my department very strongly encouraged Sirius to consider aboriginal applicants. I believe that Sirius did not receive any applications from aboriginal people, in spite of the fact that during an open house here in the great hall of this Legislative Assembly, we had hundreds of people attend who were interested in jobs in the diamond field, but we did not get that many people who actually applied for jobs. This was surprising. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
