[00:09:56] Speaker A: Metro Vancouver the municipalities including Surrey. [00:10:01] Speaker B: 15 years 15 years Wastewater treatment plant wastewater treatment plant so oh that's the wastewater treatment plant for example per year for the next four years. [00:11:13] Speaker A: Metro Vancouver Virginia cost so there is a day so in Metro Vancouver Metro Vancouver sewer levy for Surrey is 70.8% the HD recommendation as you mentioned Finance committee Council is attributed to the North Shore wastewater Treatment plant standard increase city. [00:11:50] Speaker B: Of Sarida. [00:11:54] Speaker A: 7.1% so a five year plan. [00:12:03] Speaker B: So it's not 7.1% over four years every year each year 7.1% each year. Wow.

Almost we still have wastewater treatment plant needs a major overhaul double digit billions and he was way ahead of his time Even there are flop shows yes, that's true exactly Kyoke White House officials can they rate tariff Laguhora Charikton Lagrada Steel aluminum that is Canada Speaking of the lack of clarity policy even a analysis. [00:18:17] Speaker A: So actually Reuters report Kita White House official confirm White House the officially confirmed Kita Reuters report business leaders for the first time Justin Trudeau talked to Donald Trump okay oh yeah Elon Musk by the way. [00:20:16] Speaker B: Open AI Elon Musk was one of the persons Open AI chat GPT OpenAI established Kiti Gaisi basically as a non profit CEO Sam Altman billion dollar so almost $100 billion data central announcement Kitisi Oracle Baki company and all he doesn't like one of the guys on that group it's all fine so Elon Musk Altman Noon Open AI. [00:21:47] Speaker A: Yeah that's why yeah. [00:22:01] Speaker B: Billion dollars lack of clarity.
