Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am just actually flipping back to page 5, where the lands funding forward over the next three years is shown. There does not seem to be much money that they are predicting is required in 2019-2020 or 2020-2021, so what is going on? Does this department not have any capital replacement or aspirations or anything? What is going on with Lands? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the answer to that is that we have not yet necessarily determined all of the needs we may have in the future, so those numbers for the future could change. We are not contemplating, obviously, any major projects currently, at that time. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Looking at the five-year capital needs, so 2019-2020 to 2023-2024, there are some projects, if I can just identify them for you. There is replacement of shop space in Fort Smith. There is a small warehouse in the community that transferred to the government in 1987 and will require a major retrofit. There is also a five-year needs assessment which would include a cold-storage space in Inuvik. There is presently a cold-storage and heated shop in Inuvik leased from the federal government, but those leases expire in the next couple of years. If they are not renewed, we would require shop space in support of our operations in Inuvik. Looking longer-term, six to 20 years, shop space in Hay River and Inuvik and a future retrofit in the distant future of the Beaufort Delta office. There are projects, none of them of a terribly major size, in the future. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, for that thorough overview. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the details from the Minister. Perhaps he can confirm for me, then, that we are not cutting capital expenditures in the future for Lands to fund other infrastructure. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, we are not doing that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have no further questions.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Any further general comments on the Department of Lands? Seeing none, we will defer consideration of the departmental total until consideration of the activity summaries, the first of which begins on page 59, Lands, informatics shared service centre, infrastructure investments, $1,513,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. Turning to page 61 with an associated information item on page 62, Lands, operations, infrastructure investments, $110,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. Turning back to page 58, Lands, total capital estimates, $1,623,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you very much, committee. Does committee agree that we have concluded consideration of the Department of Lands?

Thank you, committee. Thank you to the Minister and your witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, you may escort the witnesses from the Chamber. Committee, we have agreed to next consider the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I assume the Minister has no opening comments. Would he like to bring witnesses into the Chamber?

Yes, I would, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the Chamber. Minister, please introduce your witnesses to the House.
