Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be for Mr. Kakfwi and it is in regard to the value-added industry in the diamond business. We were successful in getting the valuation plant for BHP established here in the North and, following that, we have been able to get the cutting plant established with a number of employees and all that is in the process of happening. Naturally, it is of interest for us to ensure that we pursue this whole area because it can lead to numerous jobs for Northerners. Could the Minister tell me how many applications have been approved by this government for assistance to establish cutting plants? Thank you.
