GFL Environmental Inc. ($GFL)

Good morning, and welcome to the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders of GFL Environmental, Inc. My name is Patrick Dovigi; and as Founder, CEO and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of GFL, I will chair today's meeting. On behalf of our management and directors, I would like to welcome you to the meeting. In terms of our agenda, I will call this meeting to order shortly, and we will address some preliminary matters. After that, the formal items of business will be moved and voted on and the results will be announced at the end of the meeting. I now call to order the Annual and Special Meeting of GFL shareholders. With the consent of the meeting, I appoint Mindy Gilbert to act as secretary and moderator of the meeting. Before the formal portion of the meeting begins, Mindy will provide some information on how the meeting will operate.

Thank you, Patrick. Voting on all matters at the meeting will be conducted by a single electronic ballot. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders can vote on each item using the electronic ballot feature available on your screen. The electronic ballot will be open for all resolutions at the same time. If you have already voted by proxy, you do not need to vote again during the meeting as your vote has been recorded and will be counted by the scrutineer. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders who have already submitted a valid proxy and want to vote again by electronic ballot at the meeting will be revoking any previously submitted proxies, and only the electronic ballots submitted today at the meeting will be counted. At the end of the formal part of the meeting, we will have a Q&A session. Questions can be submitted using Lumi's instant messaging service. Questions regarding procedural matters or directly related to the motions before the meeting may be addressed during the meeting. During the Q&A period, we will answer questions that are relevant to the meeting matters. Questions should be succinct and cover a single topic. We will do our best to answer all relevant questions. If we encounter any technical difficulties, please remain logged on, and we will resume as soon as possible. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that today's meeting may include forward-looking statements. These statements are given as of today's date and involve certain risks and uncertainties discussed in our public filings that are available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. A number of factors and assumptions were applied in the formulation of these statements and actual results could differ materially. For additional information with respect to forward-looking statements, factors and assumptions, we direct you to our public filings, including our most recently filed annual report on Form 40-F. I will now turn it over to Patrick to proceed with the formal portion of today's meeting.
