Infrastructure, operations expenditure summary, total department, 2025-2026 Main Estimates, $308,403,000. Does the committee agree?

Thank you. Committee, I'd like to turn over to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, some of my colleagues have already taken my thunder away here a little bit, but I did want to point out that I have had the pleasure of working with deputy minister Loutitt for some time and he has, for the last several days or weeks, been counting down his very favourite time of the year, which is session, but unfortunately this year he's counting it down because after 29 years of public service, Mr. Loutitt is retiring next Friday.

Thank you. I just want to say that I want to wish the deputy minister as well a happy retirement, and when we were young and good looking, we used to play hockey together. And so anyways, now we'll just watch it on TV. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Minister, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing before us. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses from the chambers.

I want to wish the committee -- sorry, the Member from Inuvik Boot Lake.
