Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this regulation of this new diamond industry is something that was put on the table about a year ago as a discussion paper. The idea is to throw the idea out to see what kind of feedback is out there from people in the industry and genuinely people in the North. The response has been from people who are directly involved with the industry.
We would like to continue to get the response from it. Then we will have to take a close look at it on how to proceed from there. It is good to get feedback at this time but there is a process out there that we would like to continue.
Through this process as a department, we will have to further develop the response that we get from this discussion paper and perhaps see what will go to Cabinet for review. We are still at the early stages of that. I welcome the comments here today. Thank you.
