Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would certainly encourage the Minister to review that program. We are talking about three quarters of a million dollars to a million dollars in outlay before we see the next allocation in diamonds available to Northern manufacturers. While I welcome the work being done on certification and I agree that we need to have somebody doing diligence, I would question whether or not the person that we are using has the chemical expertise to determine whether or not the stones are in fact from the Northwest Territories. It takes a pretty qualified person to take a look at the physical structure of a diamond and know or assess where it has come from. I believe his expertise was in the marketing of diamonds, rather than in other areas.
So I would encourage the Minister to make sure that we are, in fact, seeing our money's worth in that contract. Thank you.
