Good morning, my name is Sylvie and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to FIERA Capital's earnings call to discuss financial results of the second quarter 2024. All participant lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's prepared remarks, there will be a question and answer period. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded and if you would like to ask a question during the Q&A period, simply press star 1 on your telephone keypad. And if you would like to withdraw your question, please press star 2. Thank you. I will now turn the conference over to Ms. Marie-France Gay, Senior Vice President, Treasury and Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
