Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the three-legged polar bear is our trademark and it will continue to be our trademark and it's always been our trademark. Part of the problem there was the way the trademark was registered. Although it's been our trademark for so many years, we just assumed everybody knew it. However, the legal aspect of it was overlooked in some ways, but we were able to resolve that. The details of it have been worked out. The only concession we managed to get to resolve this whole issue was that Sirius will have the exclusive use of their four-legged polar bear on the girdle of their diamond. Any other company that is manufacturing diamonds in the NWT could use a polar bear in their advertisements and displays.
