Details of how to access the replays are available in this morning's news release. Before we begin, let me remind you that forward-looking statements may be made today, during or after the formal part of this conference call. Certain material assumptions were applied in providing these statements, many of which are beyond our control. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements.

I would now like to turn the call over to Michael DiGiovio, Chief Executive Officer of Village Farms International. Please go ahead, Mr. DiGiovio.

Thanks, Kelsey. Good morning, everyone. With me today is Chief Financial Officer of Village Farms, Steve Ruffini, and also joining us again this quarter is President and CEO of Canadian Cannabis Business, Pure Stone Farms, Mandish Dosanji, who will also join us for the Q&A at the end of the call. I just want to say congratulations, Mandish. Yesterday morning, he had his third child, a son, and he did manage to take a half a day off back to work this morning, so we're really proud of you, that commitment. And I will say that it's baby season here at Village. There's a number of folks that are pregnant, maternity leave. My daughter had a son two weeks ago, so It's great to see as humans, I think the greatest of the greatest thing we do is produce offspring. So congratulations again, Mandish. Okay, so for today's call, I'll begin with an overview of highlights of the financial and operational highlights across the business. Steve will review the financial results. I'll return with some concluding thoughts about how the future village farms is rapidly coming into focus. And then we'll open the call to your questions.

So with that, the third quarter,
