Good morning, Ms. DesRosiers et Mr. Knopf. We have met before. You are really lucky to have a chance to appear twice. There are a few others who would like to come back. I will be discussing that with the Chair.
It was really quite difficult to prepare for your appearance here this morning—first of all, because we were only made aware of it at 5:00 p.m. yesterday, and also because we don't have a brief and you did not prepare a written presentation. I'm sure you can understand that it's very difficult for us.
