I would just like to say to my colleagues, after the testimony that we've heard today from mister Font as well as these 2 who are living the nightmare of not being able to get to work, that we understand the importance of supporting reso 5 that would allow the state then to make the decision for these men and women to get back to work, our first responders who were out there during COVID risking their lives.
