[0:10] Do you know what, do I need any guidance on that? [0:13] I don't have any reading on it at all, except that he says it's purely personal and will only take a few minutes. [0:21] And actually, he is not seeking anything, doesn't want to, you know, has no problems or anything like that. [0:28] And I think it's, it's, [0:31] Just his feeling that he's, once every few years, he's got to get in. [0:40] To my knowledge, we've covered all of the things. [0:43] He doesn't have any beefs about the Stafford head at the moment, has he? [0:46] No, he had a lot of beefs during the campaign about the way it was being run. [0:51] He didn't like the McGregor operation and all. [0:54] Those were ironed out on specific grounds as they went along. [1:01] Would you make those two? [1:03] Some to me, some to Fred. [1:05] He worked well with Fred. [1:07] Fine. [1:08] Over there. [1:11] Okay. [1:12] All right. [1:13] All right.
