Shoukran, I I wanna thank this panel, for both lifting up a current condition.
5:54:57
Right?
5:54:58
Most of the conversation is anticipating the future.
5:55:03
And we have a current condition that we need to address, of which there are proposals on the table.
5:55:09
So I want to acknowledge that that is here and that is what is being requested, and that can begin to change the dynamic.
5:55:17
So it's, a double challenge that you all are facing as, the smallest businesses on the curb where you have no structure to protect you.
5:55:30
So we're gonna continue to work at it.
5:55:32
But thank you for your patience and spending all the hours here because I know you were all here this morning too.
5:55:38
Yeah.
5:55:39
Thank you.
