Thanks, Dan, and good morning, everyone. This quarter, we successfully closed two strategic acquisitions, the Plains Canadian NGL business and the remaining 50% interest in TAFs. These acquisitions are part of a strong foundation we have assembled for the next phase of disciplined growth and long-term value creation. Our focus now turns to integrating these investments, executing our growth projects, and delivering greater value to customers and shareholders. Our team is working hard on integrating the Plains business and continues to make meaningful progress on identifying and delivering synergies. We will continue to provide updates as that work progresses. After the quarter, KIERA also submitted its response to the Competition Tribunal. regarding the Competition Bureau's notice of application. Because this is an ongoing litigation, we are limited in what we can say, but remain confident in the strength of our case and look forward to demonstrating the value creation that will result from this transaction. Turning to our quarterly results. In gathering processing, we delivered a new quarterly record for realized margin driven by strong contributions across the segments. We also set a new quarterly realized margin record in liquid infrastructure, reflecting contributions from the Plains Canadian NGL business. We continue to deliver and advance our growth projects. KFS Rack 2 eBottleneck was brought into service in early June, more than one month ahead of schedule and 20% below its original budget. KFS North eBottleneck, KFS Rack 3, Capstone 4, and Ace Rail Terminal continue to progress well, all on time and on budget. These projects are highly contracted and will contribute to growth and stable fee-for-service cash flow, supporting the strength of our balance sheet, and long-term dividend sustainability. Yesterday, the Board approved another 4% annual increase in the dividend. Dividend increase reflects our confidence in the business and allows us to preserve our balance sheet strength and Financial Flexibility to invest in further fee-based growth. Now turning to AEF, the facility was restarted at the beginning of June and has been performing well. We continue to view this asset as an important part of our integrated value chain and a meaningful contributor to CARE's long-term value creation. During the outage, we completed a comprehensive review of the facility and its associated operating plan and have identified opportunities to strengthen performance and reliability. Our objective is to maximize iso-octane production over the full four-year cycle while maintaining our focus on safe, reliable, and efficient operations. With that, I'll turn the call over to Eileen to discuss the commercial results and outlook.
