GFL Environmental Inc.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the GFL Environmental 2023 Q2 earnings call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. If at any time during this call you require immediate assistance, please press star zero for an operator. Also note that the call is being recorded. And I would like to turn the conference over to Patrick DiVigi. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Sorry for the slight delay. Our conference operator is experiencing technical difficulties at the current time, so you may hear from others that they may have not been able to log in, but anyone that logged in prior to sort of 8.15 a.m. has the ability to log in. But the conference call is available sort of on the webcast, and whoever was logged in before 8.15 can certainly ask questions. So I'd like to welcome everyone to today's call, and thank you for joining us. This morning, we will be reviewing our results for the second quarter and updating our guidance for this year. I'm joined this morning by Luke Pelosi, our CFO, who will take us through our forward-looking disclaimer before we get into details.

Thank you, Patrick. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining. We have filed our earnings press release, which includes important information. The press release is available on our website. We have prepared a presentation to accompany this call that is also available on our website. During this call, we'll be making some forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws, including statements regarding events or developments that we believe or anticipate may occur in the future. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those set out in our filings with the Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of today's date, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements, whether a result of new information, future events and developments, or otherwise. This call will include the discussion of certain non-IFRS measures. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures can be found in our filings with the Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. I will now turn the call back over to Patrick.
