Brown. Thanks, your worship. i think it's pretty straightforward This, I think an issue that's plagued all my time on council and likely before that. We have an example of it a couple of weeks ago, just where. We've kind of lacked a clear process on how we're going to respond. To. Business or emotions arising from delegations. I think it's perfectly appropriate for motions to arise from delegations. But they have to be on topic, and that's the discretion of the chair. But we've been treating them both ways. At the end of the agenda, sometimes. Right after the delegation. And I think this is not an urgent matter. I talked to Miss Gurry. About it. There's housekeeping amendments from time to time. I think this is just appropriately one that staff would bring clarity that way. The rules of the game are known for all of council, for the chair and ultimately for someone coming seeking council support.
