Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister named quite a few things that the diamond project involves. A fair number of them are ongoing. The certification process, I understand, is up and running. Once you sign an MOU, it's pretty well a template for the other groups, to a large degree. The Minister talked about being the leading edge in the NWT, which is a good thing. We need a few things that we can brag about on the national stage. But I guess more from a management of resources end is...A few areas we are working on right now to try to benefit the industry in the North or our government and a sense of resources. The Minister touched on excise tax, but my understanding is that we were quite caught by surprise that that was going to be removed or had been removed by the federal government. That came up in the House yesterday or the day before. Those things are examples that Members can look at for positive results or benefits we are receiving from expenditures. Thank you.
