Okay.
1:37:32
I have one final question, then we're done.
1:37:34
But before I ask my question, I just wanna make sure that we have down, all the the the items that we are needing in the follow-up.
1:37:46
I believe there was, some data on, what is what, supply what items were taken off the menu from Keefe, and and how often you're doing comparisons for outside pricing.
1:38:02
Like, what what is the actual process for initiating that and how often does it happen?
1:38:08
We had some questions about the percentage of, recorded calls that are turned over that actually lead to some kind of intervention, or prevention of crime.
1:38:21
And then what what is, handed over no.
1:38:25
Sorry.
1:38:25
Just that part.
1:38:29
And then the recommendations from the DOI study related to substance, use and the testing.
1:38:38
My my final question is, I know that the ICE office was closed in in 2015, on the island.
1:38:44
