Mr. Speaker, the National Diamond Strategy was something that I was proud to see this Legislature and this government play a role in, but with all the resources that the Minister talks about still having to invest in is...He, last fall, wrote a letter to significant diamond retailers and our partners in the rest of Canada and said we were withdrawing our involvement and support for the National Diamond Strategy because we did not have adequate resources. Could the Minister explain for the Assembly, where is the lack of resources, then, if we can do it in all these other areas? What have we abandoned? What have we left behind by saying that we are no longer going to play a leadership role in a National Diamond Strategy, Mr. Speaker?
