Thank you, Jennifer, and good morning. Our second quarter results demonstrate a clear inflection point for Calian. We delivered 18% revenue growth, including 12% organic growth, supported by record deliveries and a strong pace of new contract awards. In Q2 alone, we secured $321 million in new contracts with over $200 million coming from the Canadian defense sector and spanning multiple solutions. This brought our backlog to $1.5 billion and
