Mr. Speaker, just for the record, let’s be clear here. We are not losing the industry. We have worked with the industry. We have put supports in place for the industry. We have put training and programs in place for the industry. We have worked with the diamond mines. Our socio-economic agreement has looked at this to make sure we could have a supply maintained in the Northwest Territories. I expect that the Department of Industry and the Minister responsible will be, as their department is doing the work, going forward to the standing committee on this policy. We will be able to answer and have a lot more information and Members of this Assembly can help us as we go forward on how we approach the next phase of that industry in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
