Mr. Chairman, I would certainly counter that we're not letting outside factors or outside influences determine and define our strategy and our needs. We're allowing our northern industry to be involved in defining and determining our strategy. I'm going to be very clear, industry, some of industry, in terms of their National Diamond Strategy participation, had backed away from the table. But that was not the reason for our participation or lack of participation in National Diamond Strategy. That was not the determining factor. Canadian Jewellers Association, Jewellers Vigilance Canada had indicated to us that they were no longer participating unless we gave up some trademarks. We weren't prepared to do that initially. The federal government was
quite clear with us that without those players at the table, this wouldn't be a relevant and compelling strategy and that they weren't going to participate in this without those players at the table. We had a decision to make at that point. We looked for a way forward. It was my impression that maybe we didn't need these official marks anyway and could still move ahead with this National Diamond Strategy. That was not at all the reaction that we got from the factories. The factories said never mind the National Diamond Strategy, keep those official marks, bolster our efforts, support our efforts. So it was really the northern industry and our factories that were the determining factor behind our desire to refocus and redouble our efforts locally on marketing and worry about national efforts at some point in the future. They're not going away. This is not a one-time-only opportunity. We think we can come back to that. But there are stages and steps here and we recognize that our first priority and our first focus had to be here at home. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
