Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is in relation to how the government evaluates diamond mining. In the Diavik diamond project, Diavik stated they would consider five factors in the evaluation of mining alternative. First, applicability; secondly, technical uncertainty; third, risk to work, health and safety; fourth, environmental effects; and five, economics. Could the Minister indicate what criteria does the government use when evaluating proposals?
