Mr. Speaker, in considering our support for the diamond industry, we look at the number of jobs the industry could create, particularly on the value-added side. We will do the same sort of analysis and give it the same level of priority as we did with the diamond industry. Of course, as companies, if they come to us looking for loan guarantees, we will look very carefully at employment as being one of the main benefits to our government. Thank you.
