Okay, thank you.

I have more questions, but I'm going to pass it over to Chair Lee, and I'll come back on second round.

Thank you.

Okay, great.

Linda Lee

Sorry, just a clarification question.

So the 35,555 officers that you were referring to, was that for FY27 or FY28?

It's in the budget for FY28, but we expect to achieve that hiring at the end of this year, this calendar year.

Got it.

Okay, so in the middle of FY27.
