Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming today. We're going to start. We apologize for starting a bit late, but we had some votes in the House to deal with before we made our way over here.
The process for today is that we will give each group up to 10 minutes for a presentation. Each presentation will be followed by a series of questions from around the table. This first session will be about an hour long, so I encourage everybody to try to stay within the time limits. I may have to interrupt you and stop you. If I do, I apologize in advance, but we need to do that to make sure that everybody gets their allotted time.
There's an earpiece available to you for translation. You are encouraged to speak either French or English. You will likely be asked questions in both official languages, so if you need the earpiece, it's right underneath the table and available to you.
Again, thank you for joining us this afternoon. With no further ado, I will open it up to Mr. Thorsen. You look as though you're ready to say something, so why don't we start with you?
