Mr. Chairman, by pulling out of the National Diamond Strategy, yes, okay, so we have saved ourselves some human resources here and obviously redirected it, but what are we leaving behind? What are we leaving on the table? What are we sacrificing by discontinuing, by stopping our involvement in this strategy, Mr. Chairman, which my recollection is we were instrumental in starting it up knowing that other jurisdictions in Canada were likely to have diamond mines? Indeed, Ontario is on stream now. Alberta may be the next one. So what have we left behind because we are no longer part of this national process, Mr. Chairman?
