Thank you, Madam Chair. My backup today here is Kim Wickens, deputy clerk, Members and Precinct Services, and also Brian Thagard, Sergeant-at-Arms.

Thank you. I will now open the floor to general comments on the Legislative Assembly. Seeing there are no further comments, does committee agree to proceed to the detail contained in the tabled document?

Committee, we will defer department totals and review the estimates by activity, beginning on page 8, Legislative Assembly, office of the clerk, infrastructure investments. Any comments? Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have no issue with the $110,000 allocated here and the replacement of a chiller. It appears to be necessary infrastructure. However, I have a question about what is not in here. Previously, there were plans for the Legislative Assembly to work with a number of other buildings -- I believe the City of Yellowknife, Joint Task Force North, the museum -- to create a district heating system. I recognize we just replaced the pipes to that area. Was any work done on that, or are there any plans to advance that capital project? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member for Yellowknife North. Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will just let our Sergeant-at-Arms update the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Thagard.

Thank you. Any further questions? Nothing for you? Okay. Any other questions or comments on the Legislative Assembly capital estimates? Seeing none, Legislative Assembly, office of the clerk, infrastructure investments, $110,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Members. Please return now to the departmental summary found on page 7. Legislative Assembly, 2021-2022 Capital Estimates, $110,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. Does committee agree that the consideration of the Legislative Assembly is complete?

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses out of the Chamber. Committee, you have agreed to review the Department of Justice next. Does the Minister of Justice wish to bring witnesses into the Chamber?

Yes. I do, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the Chamber. Would the Minister please introduce his witnesses?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Today, with me, I have Mandi Bolstad, director of corporate services, and Charlene Doolittle, deputy minister.

Thank you. I will now open the floor to general comments on the Department of Justice. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am just wondering if the GNWT, when requesting bids or tenders or contracts for vehicles, is specific to the make and model of the vehicle or if they leave it open so that different suppliers are able to bid on the contract and not just, for example, Ford or GM or Dodge, and so that it's a little bit more open and different businesses can bid on the contract? Thank you.

Thank you, Member. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. For that level of detail, I would like to ask Ms. Bolstad to respond.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Bolstad.
