Thank you, Operator. Good morning, and thank you for joining the Cannabis Company's third quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. With me today is Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Vita, President and Chief Operating Officer David Hart, Chief Financial Officer Derek Watson, Chief Commercial Officer Jesse Shannon, and Senior Vice President of Capital Markets and Investor Relations Leanne Evans. Earlier this morning, we issued a press release reporting our third quarter 2023 results. A copy of this release is available on the investor section of our corporate website, where you will also be able to access a replay of this call for up to 30 days. Certain remarks we make today regarding future expectations, plans, and prospects for the company constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, which we disclose in more detail in the risk factor section of our annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2022, which has been filed with applicable regulatory authorities and also in subsequent securities filings. Any forward-looking statements represent our views as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. While we may update any such forward-looking statements in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Also, please note that on today's call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The cannabis company considers certain non-GAAP measures to be meaningful indicators of the performance of its business in addition to, but not as a substitute for, our GAAP results. A reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measure is included in our press release issued earlier today. With that, I will turn the call over to Nicholas Vita to get us started. Nick?

Thank you, Asia, and good morning, everyone.
