Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to follow up on a question that was asked yesterday. The Minister's response on page 622 of unedited Hansard talks about the very high premium related to the fact that we have pure natural diamonds that can be traceable and certified.
I was wondering if I could get a sense from the Minister what is the premium that is now being paid, both on the rough and on the finished diamonds, for Canadian diamonds? What is the premium over the exact same diamond quality that is mined in Russia as compared to that which is mined in the Northwest Territories?
