1:02:33 and it's critical that the city prioritize this investment behind the work they've been doing. I want to highlight four specific areas that really stand out as both well-designed and are much needed. On displacement, the plan prioritizes anti-displacement strategies in the areas most vulnerable to market pressure ahead of market investment. It backs that with tenant protections, emergency rental assistance, relocation assistance, right of first refusal, and community ownership models that help residents stay in their homes. With 53% of Vancouver renters cost-burdened, those protections are needed. On housing, the plan allows middle housing, duplexes, triplexes, cottage clusters across all lower medium-scale residential neighborhoods. That distributes growth across the whole city rather than concentrating it in the corridors that have always absorbed it in the past. That's an equitable approach, and it's the right one. On climate, the plan directly invests, directs early investment in tree canopy and green stormwater infrastructure into the areas identified as highest risk. Again, the Fourth Plain Corridor,

1:03:33 Fruit Valley, and East Vancouver. These are the same areas with the lowest tree canopy, some at just 9% against a 28% citywide target. These neighborhoods also carried the greatest health disparities. Directing investment here first is the right call. And on economic opportunity, Goal E04 directs place-based investments to neighborhood business districts like the Fourth Plain Corridor, supporting the small businesses that anchor those communities and keeping wealth circulating locally. That work is needed, and it aligns with what we see on the ground every day. These are sound, equitable commitments. The plan is robust, well-considered, and has been created with a broad and effective community engagement process. Fourth Plain Forward encourages the council to adopt this plan. Thank you. - Thank you. Let's have Chatham Olive, Ben McCarty, Shabana McEwen, Don Sankey, and Patrick Itagwami. And while they're coming up,
