Mr. Speaker, I am not going to be content to say we should be happy to have 150 people employed. I would like to see hundreds more engaged, because I think there is the opportunity. Mr. Speaker, what I am looking at right now is a requirement or an obligation, that I feel I have, and we have in this Assembly, to be held accountable for the investment that we have at risk and, to some extent, for the jobs that people are engaged in here.
Mr. Speaker, the Minister, in response to a question from Mr. Ramsay a little while ago, said, well, if the producers and polishers can't make a deal -- and paraphrasing
roughly here, Mr. Speaker -- then the government will just have to get involved. How are we going to be able to get involved in fixing this problem if we don't have an agreement that allows us to have a meaningful role, Mr. Speaker?
