From the transcript
Oh, I'm sorry, actually I do have a question. I was curious on, in particular, public transit. I see, and I'm guessing, I don't know if that's due to vacancies, just wondering, because it is higher, but I know we need folks to run the buses. So is that a story where there's not enough staff and they're running overtime, or is there other issues there? To the Chair, the public transit rate, so while this is higher than what they have budgeted is lower than what they have run in overtime over the last couple of years.
