Thank you, LaTanya, and good morning, everyone. I'd like to welcome you to Western Forest Products' 2024 Third Quarter Conference Call. Joining me on the call today is Glenn Nontel, our Chief Financial Officer, and Bruce Alexander, our Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Manufacturing. We issued our 2024 Third Quarter results yesterday. I will provide you with some introductory comments and then ask Glenn to take you through our financial results. I'll then follow Glenn's review with our outlook section before we open the call to your questions. Earlier this year, all members of the Western team were invited to share their thoughts on the company's values. With this feedback, Western has recently introduced three evolved values statements which are, one, build a better world. We invest in safety, people, stewardship, and community. Number two, be entrepreneurial. We generate human, ecological, and customer value. And three, lead by example. We grow and adapt, operate with integrity, and are accountable for our actions. We are very excited to have these new value statements guide our future success. Turning to our third quarter, We continued to face softer market conditions in the third quarter of 2024. Despite this, we remained focused on executing on our strategic priorities to position the business for success. In the quarter, this included our sales and marketing team continued to focus on our customers and growth across key strategic accounts. This included over 20 customer groups visiting our facilities this quarter.

I apologize for the interruption. We appear to be having a technical difficulty. Please stand by. We appreciate your patience. Thank you. Thank you.
