You're welcome.
1:01:08
I just wanted to give you the opportunity to talk about other areas because I know we have had this conversation.
1:01:13
I know the council has been really focused on the LEB unit.
1:01:18
And I know when I met with the commissioners of CCHR, one of the things we discussed was preventative measures and outreach.
1:01:26
And that's a space that I don't think, as a council, we spent time discussing in terms of, like, resources in need because, yes, LEB is important, and it's important to have a place to adjudicate issues of discrimination.
1:01:40
But we don't even want those cases to occur.
1:01:43
In a large part, that takes, like, preventative outreach and education.
1:01:47
So I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about other areas of CCHR that you feel could potentially use more support or more uplifting and how that is related to the many laws that we have passed in the council over the course of the last decade that has tremendously expanded, your work?
