Thank you, John.
Here in Canada, following Paper Excellence's acquisition of Domtar and Resolute Forest Products, deep companies with deep history in Canada, our 29 mills and operations provide direct employment for over 9,000 Canadians and support an additional 40,000 jobs in communities, many rural, across our country.
Both acquisitions underwent the customary yet rigorous review process by the appropriate regulatory authorities here in Canada. Moreover, at the request of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, Paper Excellence communicated its commitment to Canada both in terms of employment and investment in Canada. Paper Excellence has honoured and will continue to honour those commitments.
With that, I'll turn it over to my colleague, Jean-François.
