All participants, please stand by. Your conference is ready to begin. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Western Forest Products Third Quarter 2022 Results Conference Call. During this conference call, Western's representatives make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the applicable securities laws. These statements can be identified by words like anticipate, plan, estimate, will, and other references to future periods. Although these forward-looking statements reflect management's reasonable beliefs, expectations, and assumptions, they are subject to inherent certainties and actual results may differ materially. There are many factors that could cause actual outcomes to be different, including those factors described under risks and uncertainties in the company's annual MD&A. which can be accessed on CDAR and is supplemented by the company's quarterly MDNA. Forward-looking statements are based only on information currently available to Western and speak only as of the date of which they are made. Except as required by law, Western undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements. Accordingly, listeners should exercise caution in relying upon forward-looking statements. I would now like to turn the meeting over to Mr. Stephen Hofer President and CEO of Western Forest Products. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Valerie, and good morning, everyone. I'd like to welcome you to Western Forest Products' 2022 third quarter conference call. Joining me on the call today is Stephen Williams, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Glenn Nontel, Vice President of Corporate Development. We issued our 2022 third quarter results yesterday. I will provide you with some introductory comments and then ask Steve to take you through a summary of our financial results. I will follow Steve's review with our outlook section before we open the call to your questions. I am excited and honored to have this opportunity to build on the strong foundation established through the many years of leadership at Western. This includes Western's commitment to finding a sustainable and profitable path forward that benefits employees, our communities, First Nations, shareholders, and other partners. I've spent the first 60 days listening and engaging with our employees throughout our company as well as customers, First Nations, and other stakeholders and partners. It is clear to me that Western has a solid foundation with many strengths, including its focus on safety, and its diverse and talented workforce. Looking ahead, we remain very focused on growing long-term shareholder value and allocating capital to the highest return opportunity. We will continue to focus on profit margin across our business, all while driving to provide the best in-class service to our customers. I will now turn it over to Steve to review our key financial results.
