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, 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.
