Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the biggest challenges we are going to face with a pipeline is to have people with the skills and the qualifications to operate the equipment and take advantage of those jobs. Right now, we have one sector of our economy which is going full bore, the diamond industry. I would like to ask the Minister, what are we doing to ensure all people have an opportunity to get these skills in these diamond mines, so that when a pipeline is built, we will have skilled labour and we cannot use the excuse that we are not ready, we do not have qualified people? What are we doing as a government to ensure that nobody uses that excuse on us again?
