For people that aren't familiar with this particular site and where it is in Kelowna and some of the issues, can you tell us what it's been like having the site there?

Tom DyasGUEST
It is located, the outreach site is Urban Health set it up, and it is located in our downtown core.

Tom DyasGUEST
And the concern that we have had is that we have been, since it opened up, we've had concerns with regards to what it brings to that particular area and what it brings to that neighborhood.

Tom DyasGUEST
We have had discussions with Interior Health We've also had discussions with the ministry.

Tom DyasGUEST
And so we started to look at keeping records on what's happening within that specific area.

Jill BennettHOST
doesn't seem all that compassionate given what we see outside these sites what other businesses and residents are now fearful in in many cases people aren't getting the health care they need so is it a sense of a different type of model or is there still a space do you think in Kelowna for some type of treatment center?

What is the difference between someone who has experience in government, which is relevant, of course, to running a city, and experience in business, which is a different kind of experience? Why is that one experience different than the other? Well,

Tom DyasGUEST
and I didn't – with me not spending a lot of time in government prior to this, it would be difficult for me to answer what the difference would be.

Tom DyasGUEST
And my strengths were that leadership came from the leadership that I had in the past.

Tom DyasGUEST
So I got to work and basically started to – deliver the items that the city wanted to look at delivering.
