The—. What this will do is allow us to gather data, kind of paints a picture of the problem. I want to be very clear, like, we know if we look at Cantwell that the volunteer model is kind of collapsing, that we're not unique in this. Our emergency manager, Nate Grimes, is very familiar with this, and it's like, this is not a problem unique to the Denali Park, Delta Junction, who we look to, we're very similar in a lot of ways, has gone through this, and they had a contract ambulance service, and it kind of collapsed, and then they, I think they have something different now. So in many ways, we know what the problem is, but this would paint a picture of here's how the model has worked, here's where, here's what's working in other municipalities.
