Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I take it from the Minister's answer that we still don't have an arrangement with De Beers that we have any confidence in. Respecting that some of these negotiations are in confidence, I'd like the Minister to see if he could give us some more sense of comfort and security that indeed De Beers does believe in helping to invest in the northern economy. Are they at least onside with that principle? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
