Mr. Speaker, potentially there is a whole chain of financial opportunity that there are value-added benefits that go, in my view, all the way to jewelry and trading of diamonds and so on. There is also opportunity, as I expect, not for this government but for future governments on taxation and so on. There are many opportunities and I think the more people that are employed, the more income tax they pay. There could be a whole list of opportunities that the government could take advantage of as we see this industry blossom. Thank you.
