Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I want to thank the Minister and his staff this summer. We had a tour of the forestry facility there. During the tour, there was a commitment there to have a couple of forestry vehicles on there. I don't see anything on this listing. I just wanted to see where that commitment stands? Marsi cho.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, MLA Norn was correct. We did have the opportunity to meet with him in Fort Resolution. The two trucks that we were talking about, one was already there. The other one is being processed this year. It's under $50,000, so we're purchasing it through O and M. It will be done this fiscal year. Thank you, Madam Chair.
