All right. Great. Thank you. All right. We'll try -- we'll start the session here. Thank you for joining us, everyone, and it's always a pleasure to have Dave Casper from BMO to join us today. I've known Dave for a long time. So we've had some great conversations over the years. So looking forward to this conversation in particular, he's not a CFO as you can all tell, he's here to talk about the U.S. business and great timing given the recent acquisition, the close of the acquisition.
