John Manley

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the 2026 Annual General Meeting for TELUS Corporation.

[Interpreted] Welcome to our [ '26 ] annual general meeting for TELUS Corporation.

My name is John Manley and I'm pleased to be your Chair for this meeting of the TELUS shareholders. I'd like to begin by acknowledging that I'm speaking to you today from the territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations. We recognize that TELUS work spans many territories and treaty areas across the country. For everyone joining us virtually today, I also want to acknowledge the lands on which you are living and working.

As a corporate leader in advancing reconciliation, TELUS was the first technology company in Canada to launch an Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan. This plan reflects insights from indigenous peoples, including our TELUS Indigenous Advisory Council, the communities we serve and the partners that we collaborate with. Access to connectivity is the foundation of our plan, and we are proud to have connected 90% of premises in indigenous communities to TELUS networks in our serving areas.

Once again, this year, we are using technology to enable shareholders to attend virtually via a live webcast. This ensures that everyone can participate equally regardless of geographic location while eliminating the environmental impact of travel.
