Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear that the Premier and the Minister are going to pursue aggressively a deal for getting diamonds left in the Northwest Territories. I know all Members in this House want to see that happen.

Mr. Speaker, we need to also work on making sure that diamond manufacturers can be profitable, particularly if we want to see more of them in the Northwest Territories. Has the Minister talked to the three manufacturers currently in operation to get their opinion on this government's efforts to remove the 10 percent excise tax?
