My name is Rodney Weston. I'm the chair of the committee.
Before we start, I'll go through just a couple of housekeeping items. If you have some opening remarks, we generally allow about 10 minutes for presentations from our guests. You'll probably hear a beeping noise throughout, Ms. Morton. There will be some time constraints on our members for questions and answers as we proceed throughout the afternoon. If you hear a beep, don't be alarmed. It's a signal that the time has expired for a certain exchange, and we'll move on to the next one shortly.
I generally don't cut our guests off. Perhaps you could finish your thoughts once you hear the beep. The members know the signal, and they're usually pretty good at adhering to it.
Once again, I'd like to say thank you very much for joining us today. I know the members have lots of questions for you and look forward to the discussion that will ensue.
If you don't have any questions, Ms. Morton, please proceed with your opening comments.
