was in 90 days, okay? The motion from correspondence. What? I found the most reasonable compromise that would be possible. Would be an additional 25% of the payment. Made within 180 days of the reorder approval. So you get the first 25% as per our current bylaw. With nothing else.

So meetings, it's. On the floor. Oh, goodness. I actually know what I'm doing for once. Great. Thank you. If I can speak to it, I think this is a very reasonable middle ground. I think when I did the amendment earlier on, when it first came forward, the GPC was the earlier payment was tied with doubling. The value. In the debate.
