I was more interested in actually, like, you know, are we potentially moving to secure things that were just, like, you know, is it, one, an unfair burden to this individual application that others aren't, you know, like, there's going to be some that seem to be caught in this in between.

I mean, I think, yeah, it's an interesting, it's interesting the changes were announced Wednesday last week, November 1st. We're not, we're obviously still digesting the impact. There's limited information because there's a set of accompanying regulations, supporting regulations. We understand that would be announced in December along with policy manual that would give more clarity and guidance on the details and the implications. It could be in this case that the applicant may decide to hold. So if the bylaws pass first and second today and proceeds to public hearing, there's further steps, third reading and then followed by adoption. bylaw after third reading conditions are addressed prior to bringing the bylaw back for adoption. So it could be that the applicant chooses to hold and see prior to completing on the conditions. If the provincial regulations go ahead, the legislative changes go ahead as proposed, a simple subdivision without rezoning could potentially see four units on on that that same land area so good questions don't have crystal clarity on that but it's kind of a wait and see okay thank you very much welcome thank you
