Good morning.
I assume that everyone wants to proceed with the planning of future business. It's not on our orders of the day, but I assume we want to do that and use the next hour or so to do that.
Okay.
I'd like to go in camera for that, if the committee members will give me consent, so that we can have a fulsome discussion.
Okay. It's agreed that we will do that.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
