Thank you for your question.

I I support the spirit of 606 and as and as I've shared before the con only concern I have really is in terms of the implementation of it, hence the introduction of 1131 which is not necessarily saying that it would not lead to the same outcome but is to be able to look at it more globally.
4:47:33
I think there are other components that still need to be addressed as well in terms of the accountability piece that's included there.
4:47:40
But I'm committed to working with each of you.
4:47:43
I've met with Janet, and Andrew.
4:47:47
We've had conversations, as well to talk about those concerns.
4:47:52
And so again, the issue in itself is is an important issue and it's being prioritized by the council.
4:48:01
I think everyone wants safety.
4:48:04
I think it looks a little different in terms of how we achieve that and that's what I wanna explore in a comprehensive way.
