Is there a way we can check? Ali, Madam Clerk? Give us a moment, ladies and gentlemen.
Chair Brown, may I make a suggestion? Sure. So we have to open up the public hearing anyway. Yeah. And we can let all the speakers speak and based on their feedback, if, no one's against it during their comments. If they just have ways to improve it or whatever, we can take that into consideration. And then if it warrants a full presentation, we can do that. If it's just to succinctly cover those topics that they mentioned, we can do that as well.
Yeah, I was thinking that same thing. And thank you very much. Okay, so no one against A, okay. And B?
There is one person for B. And for D? There's no one online for D.
Probably not, right? Okay. Okay.
Okay, while she's checking that, what we'll do, I'm sorry, go ahead. Okay, that's fine.
