Okay. Well, thank you, that's good to know.
For the contract services, I know that, you know, there's a big difference from 2022-2023 to current. Well, last year there was $100 million, so now it went down to $29 million. Can they explain that to us, why this contract services is low? Did they -- so where are we spending more money? Because it doesn't seem like there's lots for the emergency management here. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The funding differences that are showing up in contract services is strictly related to the flood and wildfire budgets and the expenditures that we're seeing that and changes in that line item year over year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, the contracts are paid up to date. And I will also add that we have accrued quite a few funding amounts for this fiscal year to still be paid out once the work has been completed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
