Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I accept the Minister, of course, would not get into the details, but there are some fundamental things that I think the Minister should be aware of and if he is not, I would suggest that it is important to be aware of them. This government had an agreement with BHP Diamonds, who we gave no money to. There were conditions put on them regarding the hiring of northerners and aboriginal people. There was money given to Sirius Diamonds and my question, is the government being consistent in its policies regarding one organization having to employ northerners and aboriginal people and then another one who is getting money from this government with no conditions? That is my reason for asking. Are there no conditions put on funding to organizations having to employ northerners or aboriginal people or both, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
