Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Hopefully that will help out in the roles that they have to fulfill. In another area, I would like to get some answers in the area of the diamond projects. When the diamond industry was just beginning in the NWT and talk of mines, there was a fair bit of work to try to come up to speed by our government in the whole area of diamonds. Right now, we do have a number of cutting and polishing facilities. We are well into it now and it seems like that is starting to grow and continue and have a bit of momentum. I would like to know, with that area, what's to become of it? Is it going to be streamlined or downsized? It's understandable when something is first coming into place, that we try to ensure we are prepared through legislative initiatives or policy, but once it's up and running, the private sector has proven that it can take on and move on with some of those initiatives. Are there any plans from within the department in this area? Thank you.
