Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I asked the government in terms of this socio-economic agreement with Diavik, BHP and Ekati, what type of programs are given to support the people in the Sahtu, the Beaufort-Delta, the Gwich'in, taking part in this work that is happening in the diamond mines. My people have been asking, how come we are not at that mine working? How come there is no type of support for us to get to those mines to work? How come, just recently, Diavik has been coming to our community and saying, where are your guys to work? Why haven't we been involved right at the forefront with the rest of our people who want a benefit from the Mackenzie gas pipeline? Thank you.
