Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, and relate to diamonds allocated for manufacture in the Northwest Territories.

Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, the Premier advised the House that last year, approximately $85 million, or 10 percent of the production of Ekati, was made available to northern manufacturers to polish. I was struck by the use of the term available. Could the Minister advise us whether or not the full allotment was actually taken up by the manufacturers of the Northwest Territories?
