00:21from 6 million to 5.5 million during the pandemic. And now that we've got a stable government,
00:26really, we need to see the rocket boosters put on economic plans to grow 5.5 million
00:31back to 6 million. We need half a million more entrepreneurs,
00:35and that's what government policy for 2025 should all be about.
