Maybe you should change banks. It has been a long, long time since I have lost a card, but it did not take my bank two weeks to get a replacement card to me. The advice I have is that the longest period would be until the next business day, but these are things that can be worked through with the community. These are things that can be worked through in the trial. Let me emphasise: this is our trial. This is a trial that we are embarking on here. There are still some details to be worked through with the community. Again, I am not going to make a declaratory and definitive statement on matters that I think are best worked through to finality with the local community to determine what will meet the needs of the individuals who are participants in this trial in the community.
