Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my Member's statement and my first set of questions were focused around vehicle purchases and our policy. I have concerns still on how we purchase vehicles. It relates directly to the tangible capital asset policy where, if you purchase a vehicle under $50,000, you don't have to report it, and that money comes out of O and M. But if the vehicle costs more than $50,000, you have to report it, and it comes out of the capital budget. My concern, specifically, is that this policy needs to be updated, because people are encouraged to buy more expensive vehicles because they can put it under the capital budget and not the regular O and M budget. Would the Minister look at updating this policy, so we can encourage smaller, reasonable vehicles for the appropriate use they are purchased for? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
