Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated, there is a lot of support for our certification program, which is different from the Canadian Competition Bureau's definition of Canadian diamonds. Yes, we are getting a lot of support. There is a lot of support for our certification program where a Canadian diamond is a diamond that is mined and traced right through to a finished product. The Competition Bureau is getting the message. There is support from the international diamond community. Thank you.
