I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Bonjour à tous. Welcome to our 28th meeting. I'm observing this morning that it's a little bit like a newsroom. I don't know if you've been in a newsroom, but it's all chaos, and then it's five, four, three, and when they get to one, it's all organized. It seemed to be that way just a minute before our committee meeting too, and now it looks so professional.
We're greatly pleased to have the Historica-Dominion Institute with us. We had Mr. Diamond and Mr. Chalifoux here about six months ago. Since then, there's been a grand merger. I know the committee would be willing to hear about any of the good work that you do, but one of the things I should point out from our conversation is that there is clearly some interest in what this merger means for your activities--how it might enhance them, change them, or maybe even give them a different focus. If you want to highlight that, it would be fantastic.
Mr. Cohen, you said you had some opening remarks. I'm not certain how many others do. But I will leave you to go ahead at your own pace and begin, and then we'll go to the regular round of questioning.
