Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This year's meeting will be a virtual only meeting conducted by live webcast. In response to shareholder requests, this format will allow shareholders to have an equal opportunity to attend and participate in the meeting regardless of their geographic location. In order to manage our time efficiently when conducting the business of the meeting, the Chairman will move resolutions, which are on this meeting's agenda.

Subsequent to the completion of the formal part of this meeting, we will have a short period to answer questions on any matters relating to the formal resolutions before this meeting, after which the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, will be making a presentation on the corporation's business operations and financial results. Following their presentations, we will answer any questions about financial or business nature that you may have.
