Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To return briefly, Mr. Chairman, to the diamond portion of this. The Minister just explained that regrettably it seems the majority if not all of these fees are going to non-resident, non-registered businesses that aren't based here. That is just really a shame. Even when things go wrong, you can't keep some of this money with our own professionals.

I guess what I'm seeing here, Mr. Chairman, certainly going into some avenues of business carries risk, but that, depending on how we handle it, can be extremely expensive. Receivership is a difficult and expensive way to go and I guess if I've learned something from this, it is to be doubly watchful of this kind of situation and knowing what the consequences could be when it comes along.

I certainly look though to an ongoing up-side on this, and that is that I know there are a number of jobs that continued as a result of keeping that factory going. We have certainly protected, if not enhanced, the Yellowknife and the NWT's position in the Canadian diamond manufacturing industry. It will be a much larger Canadian industry, Mr. Chairman, so there is something, as I say, on the up-side to be said for that. I wish the new owners and their employees every success in this.

I will close it off with one question to the Minister and that is how many employees are estimated to have been able to continue working because of this situation? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
