For that detail, I'll turn to the assistant deputy minister. Thank you.

The Chair

The Chair Lesa Semmler

Thank you. ADM Chapman.

Chapman

Thank you, Madam Chair. As indicated, some of this work has been ongoing. Some of that work that the Member has spoken to was in the early discussions several years ago. That work has pretty much been mothballed, I think, as recently to the best of our knowledge. So we're still engaged with Canada on some of the process improvements, if you want to call it that. But at the same time, we're ongoing our own work related to the Public Land Act and the potential efforts that we can utilize that legislative tool to assist us in some of our ongoing land management obligations. Thank you.

The Chair

The Chair Lesa Semmler

Thank you. Are there any further questions under planning and coordination?

Seeing none. Lands, planning and coordination, operations expenditures summary, 2022-2023 Main Estimates, $7,786,000. Does committee agree?

Some Hon. Members

Agreed.

The Chair

The Chair Lesa Semmler
