Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said in my Member’s statement today, I talked about the issue of diamonds being now cut in Ontario. Mr. Speaker, every resident of the Northwest Territories knows that millions of dollars have been invested and at times rushed into the diamond producing industry and seeing it as the backstop of our economy going forward. Mr. Speaker, when it comes to the diamond cutting industry, the ground has certainly shifted and it’s starting to look more like a sinkhole than an investment.

Mr. Speaker, the issue, really, simply is this: I would like to know what this government is doing to protect our diamond cutting industry making sure that we still have a viable position in Canada knowing that we are not the only ones cutting diamonds in Canada. Thank you.
