We'll be patient.

But I'm just a little apprehensive about kind of there's the executive order 3, which my understanding in in many of our hearings with commissioner Fraser is this understanding of OTI's role in coordination and implementation of the city's IT, for example.

And so I and I know that you can't tell us too far into the future, but I'm just trying to, like, put us at ease about kind of what is transcribed in the action plan, this this current administration and everything we're hearing about this administration, and how the agency stands apart and can put us said ease about about accountability.
