Thank you. We'll get under way.
I'm sure you've been ably welcomed by Mr. Tonks, but let me welcome you as well. I'm delighted to have you here. I'm sorry we didn't have an opportunity to see you earlier in the week in your town. It was a great experience for all of us, as I'm sure you've heard.
I think without further ado we're going to proceed right into it, and I am sorry for being a little tardy.
We have been simply asking for a point of view to be expressed by you. I think the committee's going to be very interested in hearing from you and then asking questions, for enlightenment really. Again, it's not to put you on the spot in any way, but just simply to try to get a better understanding of the situation up there at this time. We're very much looking forward to hearing from you.
I don't know if you've spoken among yourselves with regard to presentation, Ms. Blake, as to whether you are going to start and the others are going to join in.
