Thank you, Mr. MacAulay.
We have no doubt that you will certainly remember those who took the low shots at you.
To begin with today, I'd like to welcome our guests here. Thank you for coming to our committee. I know you have a brief statement to make before we get started and that committee members have many questions. We appreciate your coming today to talk about some of the work you've been doing and to answer some of the questions the committee members have.
I want to invite you now to make your opening statement, Mr. Verheul, and, if you would, to introduce your associate with you as well. We look forward to it.
