Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have to be really quick.
Okay, so I see in the revenue summary under minerals, oil and gas royalties, you know, last year we ended up getting $1.6 million and this coming year we're expecting $1.7 million. But then I look at how much we're spending under minerals and petroleum resources on diamonds, royalties and financial analysis, and that's $4.3 million. I do understand from ITI's previous information that we have a diamond valuator contract to valuate the diamonds that has been increasing this year and we're up to $2.7 million just for the valuator contract this year. Can the Minister explain how it makes financial sense to spend $2.7 million to valuate diamonds that we're only getting $1.7 million on royalties from? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
