So the 75,000,000, I'm on message, you all know that.
5:13:52
How do you wanna see the 75,000,000 sort of like split between the CDF and the SIGs?
5:14:00
Do you have an idea?
5:14:02
Is that ongoing?
5:14:05
You're like, that's fair.
5:14:09

I just wanted to know if there was like a conversation that had been had over sort of the operational deficits of of multiple organizations, but that's certainly something we can talk about in the next few weeks, months.
Eleni DeSiervo

Mean, think we're all focused on securing the 75,000,000 for the sector right now, and those are ongoing conversations.
