Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister responsible for Industry, Tourism and Investment. I understand that earlier today talks broke down between the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment and Arslanian Cutting Works, which is a pretty bad thing. It looks like they’re getting pretty close to laying off 37 employees at that facility, which is unfortunate because although they’re losing a significant amount of money, they’re committed to the North, they’re committed to a northern diamond
polishing secondary industry and they’re committed to their employees who they want to continue to employ. They’re looking for some level of commitment from the government to find some solutions here and I’m wondering if the Minister could tell me what was the nature of the collapse of these talks and where is the government’s commitment to work with these organizations to ensure that we don’t lay off more people and we continue to have a secondary diamond industry. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
