We've received confirmation from our TSX from our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, indicating that proper notice of the meeting has been given in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act and the bylaws of the corporation. I direct that a copy of the notice with proof of mailing be kept by the secretary with the records of the meeting. The purposes of today's meeting are set out in the management information circular dated May 6, 2026, copies of which were mailed to shareholders on May 21, 2026, together with the notice of the meeting and the form of proxy. Copies of the management remain circular and other meeting materials are available under the corporation's profile on the SEDAR+ website. In addition to the customary annual meeting matters, there's also 2 items of special business for your consideration today.

Two, in submitting a question, please indicate your name, which entity you represent, if any, and confirm that you are a registered shareholder or a duly appointed proxy holder. Three, questions will generally appear shortly after they are submitted but I will only be addressing most questions during the question period at the end of the meeting. However, in my discretion, I may immediately deal with questions regarding procedural matters or questions directly related to the motions before the meeting. Four, for the purposes of the meeting today, voting on all matters will be conducted via an electronic ballot. Voting on all matters will be possible starting in a few moments once the polls are declared open. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders may cast their votes by clicking on the voting button on the left side of the screen. Voting on all matters of the meeting will be open at the same time. If you've already submitted your vote by proxy, you should not vote during the meeting unless you wish to change your vote. I now declare the polls open on all resolutions so that registered shareholders or proxy holders may choose to register their votes at any time from now until we close the polls at the end of the meeting. I now declare that this meeting is regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. To expedite the formal part of the meeting, I will move all motions and dispense with the requirements for seconding of motions. The first item of business is the presentation of the corporation's consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, and the auditor's report thereon. These financial statements and the auditor's report were mailed to shareholders who did not opt out on March 18, 2026, and are also posted and available on SEDAR+. I will dispense with the reading of the auditor's report. Management will entertain questions with respect to the financial statements of the corporation in the general question period after the formal portion of today's meeting. The next matter to be acted upon is the election of 5 individuals to the Board of Directors. The term of office of the directors is from today until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders or until such time as their successors have been duly elected or appointed. As per the management information circular, the following persons have been nominated as directors of the corporation to hold office until the close of the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successors are duly elected or appointed: David Andrews, Bruce Barker, Tal Hayek, Paul Khawaja and myself, Sheldon Pollack. Each of the persons nominated has confirmed that he is prepared to serve as a director, and each of them qualifies as a director under the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act. The act requires that Board of Directors be elected. Proxies have been solicited for each of these 5 proposed qualified persons. The corporation did not receive notice of any director nominations in connection with the meeting in accordance with the advanced notice bylaw. Accordingly, the only persons eligible to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation are the nominees whose names I have mentioned. Since there are no further nominations, I move a motion proposing the election of these 5 directors. The motion is now on the floor. As mentioned at the beginning of this meeting, voting today will be conducted by electronic ballot. You'll be prompted to vote on all items after the presentation of the final item of business. However, if you wish, you may choose to register your votes at any time, including now.

The Audit Committee of the Board has approved, subject to shareholder confirmation, the appointment of BDO Canada LLP as the auditors of the corporation. I move that BDO Canada LLP be appointed auditors of the corporation until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and that the Board of Directors be authorized to fix their remuneration. The motion is now on the floor. You'll be prompted to vote on the appointment of the auditors after the presentation of all business items for this meeting. I'll now move to the next item of business, which is the approval of the corporation's LTIP renewal resolution. The corporation's Omnibus incentive plan is designed to promote the alignment of interest among employees, directors, officers and shareholders of the corporation. The Omnibus incentive plan allows for a variety of equity-based awards that provide different types of incentives to be granted to certain officers, directors, employees and consultants. The rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange require that every 3 years after institution, all unallocated awards rights or other entitlements under a security-based compensation arrangement that does not have a fixed maximum number of securities issuable must be approved by shareholders. The corporation's Omnibus incentive plan was last approved by shareholders on June 14, 2023. Under the current rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange shareholders improved -- shareholder approval of the unallocated awards rights or other entitlements under the Omnibus Incentive Plan as provided for below will remain valid for 3 years following today's meeting. The text of the LTIP renewal resolution is set out on Page 16 of the Management Information Circular. In order for this LTIP renewal resolution to be approved, it must receive the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by the shareholders of the corporation present today virtually in person or represented by proxy. I move that the corporation's LTIP renewal resolution be approved. The motion is now on the floor. You'll be promoted to vote on the approval of the corporation's LTIP renewal resolution after presentation of all business items for the meeting. I'll now move to the voting items business. As previously mentioned, voting today will be conducted by electronic pallet. You'll now be prompted to register your vote in respect of each of today's business items for this meeting. Please register your votes by accessing the voting page when prompted and pressing the for or withhold or against buttons next to as applicable, the name of each proposed director the resolution with respect to the appointment of BDO Canada LLP as the corporation's auditors and the approval to fix the remuneration of the auditors and the approval of the LTIP renewal resolution.
