Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we have had meetings with the three manufacturing groups here that are operating in the North. The exclusion of this excise tax towards the manufacturing of the diamonds that come from our country, we are working on them right here, so this approach has been dealt with and we are going to be pursuing it with the federal government. Thank you.
