Mr. Chairman, as the Member is probably aware, we have spent a lot of time and resources in developing a diamond certification program, and the issue of conflict diamonds has become a worldwide phenomena and has certainly added a premium and a value to Northwest Territories diamonds. In order for us to maintain that premium, we have to be sure that the diamonds that are produced, polished and manufactured in the Northwest Territories are not only conflict-free but also meet all of the standards that we think should be in place in the secondary industry in the Northwest Territories.

Our government is proposing a Diamond Manufacturers Act, which will regulate the manufacturing side of the business. That is what we are looking at. Thank you.
