Is the committee prepared to move on to the next department? Thank you, committee, and thank you Minister. Sergeantatarms, please escort the witnesses from the Chamber.
Committee, we've agreed to consider Tabled Document 7231(2), Capital Estimates 20232024. Committee, we will now consider the Department of Lands. Does the Minister of Lands wish to bring witnesses into the Chamber.
Yes, I do.
Thank you. Sergeantatarms, please escort the witnesses to the Chamber.
Minister, would you please introduce your witnesses.
Thank you, Madam Chair. On my left is deputy minister Jamie Koe, and on my right is Katherine Macdonald, director of finance.
Thank you, welcome. Committee has agreed to forego general comments. Does the committee agree to proceed to the detail contained in the tabled document?
Agreed.
Committee, the Department of Lands begins on page 65. We'll defer the departmental totals and review the estimates by activity summary beginning at page 66 with operations with information items on page 67. Lands, operations, infrastructure investments, $225,000. Does committee agree? Member for Yellowknife North.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I recall last year when we were doing this, Lands actually had to carry over a truck because there was a bit of an international supply chain shortage with obtaining trucks. And I also we call at some point during COVID, a few of the dealerships got mad because they were unable to deliver trucks and we ended up going down south for tenders. But I'm just wondering if the department is feeling confident of its ability to now purchase new trucks and hopefully locally if possible. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you. Minister of Lands.
Yes. And yes to both questions. Thank you.
Thank you. MLA for Yellowknife North. No?
That's good, get those trucks.
Member for Great Slave.
Thank you, Madam Chair. More of a comment. I just wanted to say that I think it's great that we're moving towards unisex washrooms versus trying to have gendered bathrooms. It makes more sense. It's more diverse, and it allows for us to have flexibility. So us women aren't always waiting on the bathroom and men can wait with us too. Thank you.
All right. That's a comment. Did you want to respond, Minister? He's not even getting the mic.
All right, any further questions, comments? Lands, operations, infrastructure investments, $225,000. Does committee agree?
Agreed.
Thank you, Members. Please return now to the departmental summary found on page 65. Member for Kam Lake.
