Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as the Minister has stated, there is a demand and a market out there for pure Canadian diamonds. One of the contracts that was signed was Ben Sofer Diamonds, I think, with Arslanian to sell their diamonds. One of the things that was stated was that in order to create a market and find a good customer base, it may take some time and a good sales pitch, and it will take some money. It will be expensive for the manufacturers, for governments and for themselves, the marketers. I was wondering if the Minister can tell me if there is any Government of the Northwest Territories money going into a marketing program for these diamonds right now?
