I have a quick question, how many of your non for profits have returned contracts because they were not getting paid?
2:19:23
Do you have a number?
2:19:35
Thank you.
2:19:50
You just got here three days.
2:19:51
Maybe you're not aware.
2:19:52
Okay.
2:19:52
But that has happened.
2:19:56
Quite a few providers have returned the contract because they had a pattern of not getting paid on time.
2:20:07
Correct.
2:20:08
Is there is there a number of providers that have done that?

Thank you, council member, for the question.
2:19:31
I want to unpack it a little bit more so I can respond
2:19:35
To the best of my ability.
2:19:39
Contracts returned.
2:19:40
Sometimes that means contract returned by the controller's office, but I No, by providers as well.
2:20:01
Meaning they they terminate the contract and they don't they don't want to provide the services Correct.
2:20:06
Any longer?
2:20:12
That is something that we can certainly dig into and take back and work with your office after this.
