Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, a year ago there was much discussion in this House on the government's handling and consequential loss of $11 million, or thereabouts, in dealing with the secondary diamond industry here in Yellowknife; the failure of a couple of factories. There was much discussion at that time about government support; what was in place, how we were looking at the industry, and how we could support that industry. At that time, the Minister committed to going about a cost-benefit analysis of the industry so that Members of this House could see how much money the government has invested in the secondary industry; how much benefit that industry brings to the local economy of the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, my first question for the Minister would be whether or not that report that his department concluded in October would be available for public viewing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
