Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This government will entertain any suggestions that are made by Members and representatives from the outlying communities on how we can enhance the possibility for communities like Hay River to take advantage of future opportunities in the diamond cutting and polishing business. We will also look for ways to encourage employees from those diamond mines who are currently in need of finding permanent residence in the Northwest Territories to look to communities like Hay River and Fort Smith as good places for permanent residence. Many of the employees, in fact, almost all of them, are fly-in and fly-out type of employees. Thank you.
