Members, we'll start our meeting.
I'd like to say thank you to Mr. Tyedmers for taking the time out of his schedule today to appear before our committee.
I know you have met with our committee before and are familiar with the proceedings of the committee. So that we can get in as many questions as possible, we try to constrain members to a timeframe for questions and answers. And we generally allow about 10 minutes for opening comments.
Mr. Tyedmers, any time you're ready, I'll let you proceed with your opening comments.
