Written Question 25-15(4): GNWT Diamond Strategy

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have written questions for two Ministers. The first set, Mr. Speaker, is for Minister Bell as the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Investment and they relate to the Diamond Strategy of this government.

Is the newly announced marketing venture with the diamond cutting/polishing/jewellery manufacturers a partnership, and how much money will each party contribute?

What are the objectives and tasks of this strategy, and will the department be reporting results to the Assembly on a regular basis?
