Pardon.

Thank you, madam chair. It would be possible. We have a PowerPoint presentation here. We print it out. Would it be possible to pass this out and then we'll mark it as an executive if possible?

Alright.

Madam chair, counselors, thank you for your time. Just to begin, I'm hoping to weigh out the donors presentation and the information I hope we can today. I think, firstly, I think, give the committee the sense of our process and the steps we've taken past few recent months to provide infrastructure. And, secondly, the goal is to provide somewhat of an overview of where our the work stands today, the progress made, and updates from some key programs. So lastly, my goal is to give this committee a sense of our proposal for reinvesting in remaining funds, where those funds are coming from and why, and my colleague, Wall Street has been done with the reinvestments for for the city.
