Thank you very much. And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's a real pleasure for me to be back in Manitoba, and I don't say that everywhere I go because it's a fact that my first full-time job was in Manitoba, way back in 1974, before many of you were probably born, so it makes me feel a little old.

Thank you, Michel. Welcome, everyone. It's a pleasure to be here, and to have my colleague Mayor Denis Coderre here as well. For the first time, I think he won't be the one giving the speech. So thanks for coming, Denis, just to listen to me.

Well, thank you, Wadih. And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's particularly good to see my former colleague, Mike Savage, the Mayor.
Last time I saw him, he was winning a prize in Ottawa from the Institute in Governance. And Wadih, you offered me a penthouse to live in Halifax?
