B
A
C
So
for
specifically
for
municipal
government,
they
were
few
recommendations
that
we
did
some
research
on
and
worked
on
a
feasibility
and
see
how
that
would
fit
into
a
city
of
Kingston's
current
programming
and
future
plans.
So
so
we
are
recommending
the
following
recommendation:
recommendation
number
55,
which
is
on
passing
a
municipal
Street
harassment,
bylaws
that
are
proportional
and
constitutional.
C
Number
57,
which
was
mayor's,
should
build
NDC
islamophobia
advisory,
Council
in
circles,
while
ensuring
there's
appropriate
representation
of
diverse
local
Muslim
communities,
which
is
again
connecting
with
an
ongoing
initiative
that
EDI
office
has
been
working
with
clerk
office
on
increasing
representation
on
the
committee's
and
Boards,
with
the
help
of
nomination
committee,
which
I
will
be
speaking
shortly
about
and
then
a
recommendation
number
59
invest
in
celebrating
the
history
of
local
Canadian,
Muslims
and
initiatives
through
a
concrete
program
that
bring
these
figures
and
names
to
the
Forefront
of
local
level.
Recognition.
C
C
With
respect
to
this
proposed
public
nuisance
by
law
and
will
report
back
to
the
council
in
2023,
so
this
is
something
that
is
already
in
motion
the
the
next
section
of
the
the
recommendation,
which
is
the
anti-islamophobia
advisory
councils
and
increase
the
representation
recommendation
number
57.
So
we
already
have
a
plan
in
place
for
diverse
voices
for
city
of
Kingston,
advisee
committees,
boards
and
commission,
as
part
of
the
recruitment
for
public
members,
appointments
to
both
internal
city
of
Kingston
and
external
agencies,
committees,
boards
and
commission.
C
The
the
clerks
Department
staff
have
reached
out
directly
to
community
organization
neighborhoods
and
Association,
and
Indigenous
groups,
specifically
representing
a
broad
spectrum
of
Kingston
residents,
included
in
these
email
communication
and
information.
It's
regarding
the
committee's
board
and
commission
to
which
applications
were
sought
and
details
of
when
and
how
to
apply.
Not
only
that,
but
also
from
EDI
office.
C
And
now,
let's
move
to
the
celebrating
the
history
of
local
Canadian
Muslim,
which
is
kingstonian
Muslims.
The
Heritage
Services
has
agreed
to
work
with
Community
Partners
to
reach
and
develop
content
for
a
standalone
Niche
case
exhibit
in
the
city
hall
that
focuses
on
community
identified
aspects
of
history
of
Canadian
Muslims
in
the
Kingston
area.
Research
and
design
will
occur
in
2023
for
installation
in
2024.
C
The
niche
cases
at
City
Hall
are
actually
temporary
installation
use
usually
remaining
on
view
for
one
to
two
years,
with
a
focus
on
expanding
the
history
and
stories
that
are
shared
as
part
of
interpretation
and
program
of
Kingston
City
Hall
as
a
center
of
community
government
and
as
National
Historic
side,
Heritage
Services
planning
for
future
large-scale
exhibition
and
educational
program
will
also
continue
to
emphasize
cultural
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
including
opportunity
that
could
highlight
the
history
and
contribution
of
the
Canadian
Muslims.
In
connection
to
this
recommendation.
C
The
city
of
Kingston
will
recognize
the
month
of
October
Islamic
Heritage
Month
by
Illuminating,
the
city
hall
and
Springer
Market
Square
in
green
color,
and
sharing
educational
information
for
its
staff
via
internal
email.
We
actually
did
that
last
year
or
this
year
or
2022,
and
we
can
we
intend
to
continue
doing
that
with
the
help
of
our
Communications
team
as
well
as
facilities.
C
C
It's
a
non-partisan
program
which
provides
politically
motivated
students
the
opportunity
to
complete
the
academic
studies
with
hands-on
experience,
working
with
an
elected
government
representative,
also
placing
staff
with
deep
roots
in
Toronto's,
Muslim
and
black
communities
in
decision
making
spaces
that
helps
them
understand
the
the
actual
needs
and
also
ensure
that
the
substance
shape
and
details
of
what
Toronto's
government
decides
better
reflects
community
experiences.
So
we
will
be
working
on
a
feasibility
to
replicate
this
model
for
city
of
Kingston
and
how
we
intend
to
do.
C
C
So
at
this
point
the
staff
is
recommending
the
committee
to
that
that
day
recommend
a
tooth
Council
that
Council
encouraged
the
city
clerk
to
continue
with
its
effort
to
attract
diverse
voices
from

I'm
here.
To
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
River.
B
I
have
one
that
I
kind
of
want
to
vote
myself
to
do
so.
I
I,
really
love
the
idea
of
the
bylaw
I
think
it's
really
important
that
that
is
there
and
that
it
actually
is
targeted
towards
islamophobia,
because
we've
had
instances
of
that
and
it
really
needs
to
be
targeted.
So
we
don't
have
that
in
Kingston.
B
My
question
is:
would
there
be
capacity
or
what
are
Muhammad's
thoughts
on?
Because
my
concern
is
that
we
have
a
bylaw
and
we
have
a
fine,
but
we
don't
really
have
anywhere
to
go
past
that
do
we
have
any
sort
of
Education
or
any
sort
of
model
to
kind
of
encourage
anti-racism
or
perspectives.
I
I,
don't
know
how
that
would
go,
but
I
just
want
to
see
it
where
it's
not
just
that
we're
slapping
fines
on
people,
but
that
we're
actually
giving
the
opportunity
opportunity
to
learn
and
become
more
respectful.
A
E
You-
and
this
is
my
first
meeting
and
I'm
I'm
delighted
to
be
a
member
of
this
committee,
so
I
would
be
as
a
counselor
be
absolutely
happy
to
endorse
all
these
and
vote
for
all
these
emotions
through
your
chair,
I
have
a
question
for
Muhammad.
What
is
I
I
agree
that
I
think
a
bylaw
for
finding
people
for
race,
for
racist
and
bigoted
speech
is,
of
course,
I
think
entirely
appropriate
and
any
educational
program
would
be
there.
E
A
C
But
we
have
seen
a
rise
in
anti-Semitic
sentiments
and
and
racist
sentiments
publicly
lately
in
city
of
Kingston,
and
not
to
Discount
the
homophobic
and
transphobic
comments,
which
is
also
an
ongoing
problem.
So
the
idea
is
that
this
bylaw
will
help
us
at
least
create
a
dent
in
that
systemic
approach
of
people,
questioning
or
or
attacking
the
the
excluded
community
members
verbally.
E
Thank
you
and
three
through
your
chair,
so
I
I.
This
would
go
on
top
of
any
other
legal
ramifications.
There
would
be
for
these
kinds
of
of
hate
crimes
for
lack
of
very
term
or
these
kinds
of
things.
So
please,
presumably,
please
send
bylaw
would
lay
charges
on
top
of
inclines.
On
top
of
what
other
illegal
problems,
there
would
be
correct,
so
I'm
understanding.
C
I
am
not
able
to
speak
to
that
at
this
point,
so
I,
like
like
I,
said
we
have
to
wait
for
the
detail
report
on
like
whether
it's
going
to
be
Peril
to
current
provincial
or
federal
legislations,
or
is
it
going
to
be
on
top
of
it
or
is
it
completely
separate?
This
is
all
currently
being
studied
and
in
process
of
making
so
like
not
gonna,
jump
the
gun
right
now
and
promise
something
which
is
not
going
to
happen.
So
thank.
F
Thank
you
and
through
you
chair,
a
quick
question.
I
had
Muhammad
was
in
terms
of
youths
from
different
backgrounds
and
the
integration
with
the
with
the
Muslim
youth.
Is
there
going
to
be
separate
programming,
or
are
we
going
to
have
something
so
that
there
is
yeah?
There
is
there's
integration
and
the
a
safe
space
for
all
of
them
to
be
able
to
share
what
what
their
experiences
are?.
C
Thank
you
chair
through
you,
Sunita,
it's
it's
a
really
good
question.
I,
really
appreciate
that
the
intention
for
the
this
program
would
specifically
be
to
work
with
elected
representative,
which
in
this
case,
would
be
Council
and
mayor
and
creating
this
in
mentorship
and
fellowship
program
with
systemically
excluded
groups.
C
So
what
we
will
be
working
on
is
creating
a
model
where
different
intersection
of
the
community
groups
can
sign
up
for
a
certain
period
of
time
to
work
as
a
youth
fellowship
with
counselors
who
are
going
to
volunteer.
So
as
it's
done
in
Toronto,
it's
like
it's
not
mandatory
for
the
every
counselor,
but
this
offer
is
placed
to
all
of
the
counselors
on
a
different
term
basis
as
far
as
I
I.
C
C
They
have
specific
program
for
black
youth,
Filipino,
youth,
Tamil,
Youth
and
Muslim,
Youth
and
other
intersections,
but
for
Kingston
we
are
trying
to
develop
a
program
that
is
going
to
Target
all
intersections
of
Youth
under
one
umbrella,
mainly
because
we
have
a
small
number
of
council
members
who,
like,
even
if
all
of
them
agree
to
volunteer
to
to
Mentor.
We
will
only
be
able
to
place
a
certain
number
of
Youth
at
once
at
a
time,
and
we
also
don't
want
to
overburden
the
council
with
that.
C
The
more
how
the
model
will
look
like
is
something
that
is
going
to
be
once
the
motion
is
approved
through
Council,
then
we
will
be
working
on,
and
at
this
point
we
are
just
asking
the
EDI
committee
to
make
this
recommendation
to
city
council
to
have
a
study
done.
A
research
done
on
how
this
youth
fellowship
program
will
look
like
for
city
of
Kingston.
G
Correcting
respectfully
so
I
have
a
question
about
one
of
the
the
parts
of
the
motion
where
it
was
suggesting
that
the
city
clerk
continue
seeking
diversity
for
advisory
committees,
boards,
Etc,
so
sort
of
a
two-parter.
So
first
part
of
the
question
I'm
wondering
how
has
that
been
going?
So
if
we're
reaching
out
to
different
communities
and
I
I,
understand
we're
talking
about
Muslim
communities
specifically
here,
but
I
think
it's
not
too
far
of
a
stretch
to
sort
of
Wonder
bigger
picture.
G
E
Are
you
sure
thank
you
chair
for
you?
Are
you
sure
Mohammed?
If
you
want
to
go
first,
I'd,
be
happy
to
get
your
oversight
because
I
was
a
participant
in
that
process,
but
perhaps
as
a
now,
it's
a
third
party
you'd
have
a
better
insight
into
that
and
then
I
can
comment
after
so
I.
Please
go
first
and
apologies
to
hell,
but
I
think
this
is
important.
C
While
it's
really
important
to
have
these
voices
represented
because,
like
how
can
we
bring
change
if
we
are
not
hearing
from
the
people
who
are
experiencing
those
challenges?
You
know
like
not
discounting
at
all
these
amazing
volunteers,
all
across
the
board
who
have
been
volunteering
and
like
this
community
itself.
All
the
members
of
public
are
volunteer
members,
but
definitely
you
know,
like
we
all
agreed
as
the
EDI
advisory
community,
that
there
is
a
need
to
create
more
space.
For
that
and
the
second
part
of
the
the
question.
C
It's
going
to
reach
to
everyone.
However,
there
is
an
opportunity
here
and
I:
let
counselor
to
speak
to
it
even
further
that
we
have
learned
certain
things
that
may
impact
the
way
we
will
do
it
in
future.
So,
having
said
that,
I
feel
that
this
has
been
the
little
bit
better
in
terms
of
inclusiveness
in
in
recruitment,
but
definitely
miles
to
go
before.
We
can
say
that
we
have
reached
our
goal
of
creating
more
inclusive
advisory
committees,
so
yeah,
that's
all.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair
through
you
and
I
address
some
what
Muhammad
said
and
what
counselor
Stephen
is
asking
I
assume
that
this
is
going
to
come
up
at
Council
as
well.
I
was
vice
chair
of
that
committee
and
the
challenge
that
we
had
as
a
committee
was
on
self-disclosure
of
being
from
an
an
equity
or
diverse
community.
So
when
there
was
disclosure
of
that,
we
absolutely
took
that
into
a
major
consideration
when
we
made
committees
as
well
as
skill
sets
and
all
the
other
factors
that
we
would
look
at.
E
So
if
someone
identified
as
being
from
a
traditional,
diverse
Community,
so
we
looked
at
gender,
we
looked
at
race,
ethnic
Origins,
religion,
all
the
other
factors
there.
The
problem
in
the
real
challenge
the
committee
had
and
I
I'll
have
a
series
of
recommendations
along
with
counselor
Hassan
and
hope
we're
working
with
Muhammad's
office
on
how
to
improve
the
process.
Is
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
self-disclosure
on
the
committee,
so
we
had
very
limited
lenses
within
which
to
view
diversity
oftentimes.
E
It
was
just
people
that
used
their
honorific
of
Ms
or
Mr.
That's
a
narrow
lens
within
which
to
view
diversity,
I'm
of
the
opinion
that
if
we
want
to
have
Community
Voices
they
it
doesn't
just
need
to
be
gender
diversity,
albeit
we
need
that,
but
we
also
need
to
have
diversity
on
a
wide
spectrum
of
ways
of
looking
at
identity.
E
E
There's
also
a
lens
I'd
like
to
sort
of
recognize
that
we
are
a
body
of
government
and
historically,
governments
have
not
been
the
friendliest
to
people
who
have
been
historically
diverse.
So
how
do
we
encourage
people?
And
we
want
those
voices
we
want
to
amplify
those
voices.
So
this
is
a
challenge
also
I'm
going
to
ask
Council
and
my
other
fellow
counselors
and
our
Equity
offices.
How
do
we
encourage
people
to
self-disclose
if
they're
from
a
community?
E
That
is
not
that
comes
that
we
want
to
hear
more
out
of
to
a
level
of
government
which
historically
I
don't
blame
them
for
not
trusting
us
generally.
If
they
do
experience
oppression,
it's
not
just
from
a
broader
capitalist
system,
it's
also
from
our
political
system,
and
we
are
the
face
of
that
political
system.
So
it
lends
itself
to
some
challenges.
So
how
did
the
Committees
look
in
aggregate?
They
look
very
diverse
on
the
lens
of
which
we
could
evaluate
diversity
that
we
knew
about
committee
by
committee.
E
We
there's
a
lot
of
things.
We
don't
know
like
we
don't
know
the
diversity
of
you
know
the
planning
committee.
We
don't
know
the
diversity
of
some
of
the
Committees,
because
we
were
going
in
with
very
limited
information
of
the
amount
of
diversity
within
that
that
committee,
so
I
would
say
we
did
our
due
diligence.
The
six
of
us.
We
read
through
2000
pages
of
applications,
which
is
as
fun
as
it
sounds,
but
we
only
could
know
what
we
were
disclosed
and
that
was
a
limitation
of
the
process.
E
Now
I
really
want
to
make
the
process
better
for
the
next
time
we
have
a
nominations,
meeting
going
forward
and
making
sure
that
our
committees
are
reflect
the
diversity
of
our
community
and,
in
fact,
I
think
even
Amplified.
The
diversity
of
our
community,
but
councilor
Stephen
it
was
it
was
it
perfect,
we
didn't
have
perfect
information.
Was
it
did
we
do
our
due
diligence,
I
I
think
we
as
counselors
thought
we
did
and
I
think
Muhammad
was
quite
satisfied
with
that
and
we
had
those
conversations
during
that
meeting
too.
E
We
really
we
spent
about
20
minutes
of
that
meeting.
Just
saying,
are
these
committees
diverse
enough?
Did
we
take
a
look
at
these
lenses?
It
was
something
that
really
that
await
on
me
afterwards
and
I
had
a
follow-up
meeting
with
counselor
Hassan
about
it
and
I'm
going
to
meet
with
Muhammad
later
on
in
the
month,
because
I
I'm
not
fully
I
I'm
satisfied.
We
did
a
good
good
job,
I'm,
not
satisfied.
We
did
the
best
job.
We
could
to
answer
that
question.
G
I
think
that
for
future
discussion,
maybe
there's
something
here
that
we
need
to
explore
and
dig
a
little
deeper
into,
because
the
the
motion
to
continue
that
the
city
clerk
continue
seeking
diversity
is
great,
but
if
that's
as
far
as
we
get
that's
not
enough
so
I
just
like
to
put
that
out
there
for
future
discussion.
Thank
you.
B
So
I'm
just
going
to
make
a
comment
on
what
councilor
toso
had
said.
First
off,
although
the
process
wasn't
there,
I
do
really
appreciate,
and
I
was
listening
into
that
meeting
about
how
you
were
like
raising
your
voice
to
like
make
diversity
known
in
a
lot
of
these
committees,
and
it
was
something
that
I
really
really
appreciated
and
sorry,
two
seconds
lost
my
train
of
thought.
Also.
C
For
the
record,
we
had
the
link
to
voluntary
disclosure,
but
I
understand
that
it
was
really
hard
to
access
it
because
it
was
placed
at
the
left
side
of
the
webpage
of
application.
So
this
is
something
that
we
will
be
working
on
with
clerk
office
and
isnt
to
see
how
we
can
make
it
more
prominent
in
terms
of
applications,
but
we
did
have
the
opportunity
for
voluntary
disclosure
we.
C
We
have
also
started
implementing
the
voluntary
disclosure
process,
not
just
for
the
council's
appointed
advisory
committees
and
and
boards,
but
also
for
the
staff
that
are
being
hired.
So
there
is
an
opportunity
here
again
for
us
to
review
where
to
place
that
link
or
or
should
it
be
part
of
the
actual
application.
Like
I
said
there
are
a
number
of
learnings
that
we
have
shortlisted
that
we
will
be
discussing
once
we
will
go
into
the
discussion
of
how
the
process
went.
C
So
like
it's
as
counselor
tutor
said
it's,
it
may
not
be
perfect,
but
it
is
the
first
step
in
the
right
direction
for
sure
and
we
will
be
sitting
together
and
reviewing
it
and
bringing
back
some
of
these
specific
recommendations
on
how
we
can
change
that
process
and
how
we
can
create
even
more
opportunities
for
Equity
seeking
groups
to
be
part
of
this
process.
Thank
you.
B
C
Know
like
you,
you
asked
Anita
to
go
next,
but
I
just
want
to
add
one
thing
very
important
that
if
anyone
who
deserves
to
be
thanked
for
this
initiative,
the
first
is
this
group,
this
advisory
committee.
The
recommendation
came
through
this
advisory
committee
with
help
of
a
delegation
that
came
from
a
group
of
undergrad
students
from
Queen's
University
so
like
these
are.
C
That
was
shared
in
this
committee.
That
was
really
really
eye-opening
for
most
of
my
us
and
we
were
able
to
take
it
back
on
so
many
different
levels
and
discuss
how
important
it
is
to
have
deliberate
and
careful
effort
to
bring
diverse
voices
to
the
table.
Because
that's
when
we
get
this
kind
of
insight,
So
yeah,
thank
you
for
all
the
amazing
work
you
all
have
been
doing
and
making
sure
that
we
stay
in
line
and
follow
the
guidance
of
this
committee.
B
E
I,
thank
you
you're
here
through
you
and
I
apologize
to
sunina,
and
how?
Because
you
know
you
guys
can
win
but
I
even
said
at
one
point
during
the
deliberations
that
we
needed
to
involve
the
committee
more
on
on
reviewing
this
process
and
finding
more
recommendations,
because
there
was
so
much
I
learned
going
through
this.
The
first
time
that
I
think
a
lens
of
equity
diversity.
Inclusion
could
have
aided
so
much
in
selecting
the.
B
F
Thank
you,
and
through
you,
chair
first
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
really
commend
the
work
off
the
selection
committee
for
not
discounting
lived
experience,
which
is
something
very
often
right
when
we
get
so
caught
up
in
the
diversity
of
identities.
We
forget
about
the
diversity
that
each
identity
has
a
lived
experience
and
which
is
where
then,
that
voice
comes,
and
you
know
which
we
don't
we're
not
always
aware
of,
but-
and
this
was
just
more
of
a
comment-
I
believe
counselor
two,
so
you
had
mentioned
something
about
that.
F
Historically,
groups
that
have
have
again
been
marginalized
or
racialized
or
discriminated
against,
so
trust
is
going
to
have
to
be
built
over
time
right,
like
one-off
settings
or
meetings
is
not
going
to
do
it.
So
this
is
going
to
have
to
be
a
Continuum
and
I'm
really
encouraged
to
see
again
with
Mom
moment
at
the
helm
of
this
and
the
support
of
the
city
of
Kingston.
F
If
we
keep
reminding
and
if
we
keep
making
sure
that
the
message
is
getting
back
out
there
to
the
community
over
time,
that's
that
trust
that
has
been
eroded
will
be
rebuilt,
so
really
important
to
make
sure
that
these
messages
are
being
captured
and
shared
widely.
So
that's
all
that
I
wanted
to
share.
E
E
If
we
have
more
of
an
amplification
from
groups
that
have
been
skeptical
of
government
I'm,
fine
with
that
and
I
I
wanted
to
amplify
those
voices,
and
that
will
require
a
lot
of
trust
building
on
the
part
of
us
as
representatives
of
government
to
build
those
bridges
into
communities,
so
they
do
feel
comfortable.
I
was
always
encouraged
when
I
saw
some
self-disclosure
and
it's
like
you
trust
us
enough
to
disclose
your
lived
experience,
we're
starting
to
do
something
right.
Well,
let's
do
more
of
that
right.
So
thank
you.
D
Thank
you
to
your
help:
I
I'm
gonna.
Basically,
a
clarification
question
which
probably
beseech
my
in
terms
of
Municipal
processes.
I
was
looking
at
the
nzm
musical
recommendations
we
presented
and
there
was
one
number
60..
We
talked
about
redirecting
funding,
alternative
matters
to
police,
policing
and
Municipal
budget.
So
my
convocation
question
is
I.
C
Chair
Hill
through
you
of
so
there
were
two
municipal
recommendations.
It
was
not
one
that
we
did
not
touch
here.
One
was
the
recommendation.
Number
of
56,
which
was
municipalities,
provide
dedicated
funding
for
local
community-based
anti-islamophobia
initiatives
and
number
60,
redirect
funding
towards
alternative
measures
to
police
in
Municipal
budgets.
So
the
these
two
are
the
reason
why
my
office
deferred
from
making
a
recommendation
on
this
3di
committee
is
two
Falls.
C
We
are
two
separate
entities
at
like
the
budget
does
come
from
us,
but
we
don't
have
any
jurisdiction
as
staff
over
the
processes
than
the
day-to-day
work
that
Kingston
Police
provides.
We
do
have
a
cordial
relationship.
We
we
have
a
a
very
supportive
staff
from
Kingston
Police.
That
is
always
ready
to
work
with
us
closely,
but
that's
where
our
partnership
stops.
We
do
not
have
at
least
at
this
level
to
make
any
kind
of
policing
related
recommendation.
C
However,
for
56th
recommendation
on
providing
municipalities,
that
was
when
the
then,
the
the
man
city
council
back
in
February
2022
when
they
passed
this
motion.
There
was
another
part
of
that
motion
that
approved
the
budget
of
funding
for
supporting
the
the
a
Community
Fund
for
the
combating
islamophobia
that
they
allocated.
So
that's
why
the
you?
You
are
not
seeing
this
recommendation
here,
because
that
action
was
already
taken
immediately
by
city
council
and
they
asked
us
to
review
the
remaining
recommendations.
D
B
A
B
All
opposed
awesome
seems
unanimous
all
right,
so
I
don't
think
we
have
any
other
agenda
items
and
I,
don't
think
we
have
any
motions
at
all
or
notices
of
motion
and
there
is
no
other
business.
So
the
date
and
time
of
the
next
meeting
is
to
be
determined
and
I.
Guess
we'll
go
to
adjournment
so
for
a
vote
of
adjournment
mover
oh,
go
ahead.
Muhammad
I
might
be
missing
something.
C
No
you're
not
but
I,
want
to
take
this
opportunity
before
this
committee
address
that
there
there
will
be
some
of
the
Community
Committee
members
who
will
be
returning
for
the
next
year,
and
then
some
of
you
will
be
moving
on
to
other
initiatives
and
roles.
So
I
really
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
the
initiator
of
change
through
India
advisory
committee.
C
You
were
the
first
group
of
people
who
came
together
so
like
I
like
so
thank
you
very
much
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
for
being
the
leader
of
a
significant
change
for
the
the
cooperation
of
the
city
of
Kingston.
While
you
may
not
be
back
at
this
EDI
committee
as
advisory
members,
but
you're
always
welcome
to
connect
with
us.
C
So
I
really
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
all
of
you
for
all
the
amazing
work
of,
and
you
know,
I
cannot
be
grateful
enough
to
be
able
to
work
with
this
amazing
group
of
people
and
like
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
next
cohort
of
advisory
committee.
So
really
really
really
thankful
for
all
the
amazing
things
we
have
done
together.
However,
miles
to
go
before
we
can
say
we
have
done
our
work,
which
we
will
continue
doing.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Yeah,
that
is
a
wonderful
comment
and
again
like
thank
you
for
your
work
as
well.
Muhammad
like
I'm,
so
glad
that
this
committee
is
a
thing
and
that
we're
doing
really
great
work
and
making
really
great
change
so
right
now,
I'm
gonna
call
for
the
adjournment
of
the
meeting.
Can
I
get
a
mover,
counselor
tozo
and
a
seconder
Sunita
awesome
so
have
a
wonderful
day.
Everybody.
Thank
you.
So
much
by
e.
