Leah Archibald
1:16:57
You know, I don't remember how this and and I've been doing this like, I've been working on this since was the IPP contract and it was at EDC, so I've got a pretty good, like, comprehensive understanding of the history.
1:17:08
I don't know why they chose a 3 year contract.
1:17:12
But it was really helpful when they moved to that in 2006, you know, when the IBZs were created.
