Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is this something that is of such high importance -- and I do support the idea, the value of having a well-controlled system, in terms of being able to say without question that a certain product was indeed mined and cut in Canada -- but if it is that important, should we not be making it mandatory then for anyone who wants to process a diamond in Canada, they must participate in that certification program. Should we not be doing that? Thank you.
