Colleagues, please take your seats. Thank you very much.
Mr. Pareis, you have been listening to the proceedings, so you know how this works. Mr. Parkes, I'm not quite sure if you're aware, so let me just reiterate that we will be asking both of you gentlemen to give some brief opening comments. Give me your perspective on what you would like to see in the future for Canada Post, or what your organization's perspective is on it. Following your opening comments, we will have a series of questions from all of our committee members, and during that question-and-answer process, I hope we'll be able to elicit information that you may not have had a chance to give in your opening comments.
Mr. Parkes, would you care to give it a stab?
