give me And just one question on the chair's bill, because I know you had stated that, you feel, given the challenges, that the 90 days might be too short of a window.
1:19:50
And I understand that, but would you agree that, like, the continuity and the accountability that is so important with this office be upheld by kind of, like, quickly, making a replacement?

I mean, absolutely.
1:20:04
This is obviously, it's a it's a critical role in this unit and in all our other units.
1:20:09
And whenever we have, you know, the need to fill one of those positions, we try to do that as quickly as possible.
1:20:15
It's just not always something where we can promise a particular time frame.
1:20:19
It's not totally within our control, and there can be challenges in filling all the positions that we have right now.
