I will start with the criteria for this funding. The criterion is to fund anything that would help in the diamond industry, right from travel assistance to financial assistance of any sort. There is a criterion that the department uses, but it's basically to assist the diamond industry. The $130,000 that was taken out, we've created this diamond certification officer in the department. Thank you.
