Mr. Speaker, I understand the relationship between the polishers and the company but I’m curious whether there’s an opportunity for us to step in and work with both the
polishers and the company to find a way to decrease the cost or make the cost equivalent between what our companies are paying for northern diamonds and what BHP Billington is actually charging in Antwerp. Is there any room for some negotiation here? It’s important that we don’t lose more employees in the Northwest Territories. We need and should have a secondary diamond polishing industry and I think this government needs to work with our businesses. Is there any opportunity to have those discussions? Thank you, Mr. Speaker
