So do you think that that should be backfilled to meet the promise of the budget? Yeah, I'm certainly open to that. As part of our negotiations, what I would say is, look, The DPI and the Fiscal Bureau gave us numbers when we passed the budget and said, this is what it will take to be at 42 and 45%. Okay. We didn't argue with the numbers. We just took them as verbatim and said, okay, that's what we'll put in there. So it's not like we made a choice to fund them at a lower level. (26:46–26:52)
