I don't have any questions.
3:26:40
I do have a comment.
3:26:41
Yes.

Thank you for bringing up the the payment issue, who does a very real issue, and I think we definitely have to address it and and figure that that piece too.
3:26:50
And even the idea around the 12 year contract, because I think that, you know, we need to get to a place where we know this is happening.
3:26:56
So it is challenging to start a contract on the 1st day of programming every single year, even for staffing purposes.
3:27:03
So and that would also help with, like, the seasonal work and some other challenges that I know that is happening summer camps.
3:27:10
So thank you for that piece of information, and I have no question for this statement.
