There's a little bit of delay with people joining remotely. Next is public comment. Did anyone wish to provide public comment? Anyone in person? And then we'll go to any hands raised online. So if you wanted to provide public comment, please raise your hand.

John, you should be able to unmute. There you go, you're unmuted. Are you able to comment? We're not hearing you. Mr. Martin, you're muted now. If you want to try to unmute, it's star six by the phone. Yeah, we still can't hear you. If you want to join the meeting, leave the meeting and then join again, we can open up public comment again at the end of the agenda if there's no objection from council, and then there's also instructions on the screen for providing comment online. Okay, are there any other public comment? Okay, so we will move on. We have introduction and assignment of legislatio
