Well, again, we have other there are other agencies and bodies within the administration that have already a robust and experienced regime on worker rights.
1:06:33
For instance, we talked a little bit earlier about the temporary construction worker regiment that has recently been adopted and is and with DCWP as one as new for temporary construction workers to be able to be assured of certain rights, requirements, information sharing, and we can build on that for sure.
1:06:52
So there are other, to Lucy's point, this is a very important conversation.
1:06:56
We definitely want to talk about it.
1:06:58
But Additionally, when we bring wages into it, we're talking about a smaller slice of all the construction that happens in the city, a slice that is nearly enough because we are in a constrained environment for capital.
1:07:11
We're just trying to make sure that we're gonna make trade offs.
1:07:13
We understand that we'll be making a limited slice, maybe a little bit more limited.
