I call the meeting to order.
Today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, which we do at least annually.
With us from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is Mr. Mark Machin, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Michel Leduc, Senior Managing Director.
I believe, Mark, you have an opening statement. Go ahead. The floor is yours.
Welcome, and thank you. I hope we didn't upset your schedule too much by moving you up a little earlier.
