Thank you, everyone, for being here today. I'm going to present. I've got kind of a unique position. I think this has been an issue, different issues for many, many years. And I've come to it with a fresh perspective over the last 12 months. And 12, 13 months, I'm going to present a history of what has happened and where we are as I understand it.

So what we're talking about is what traditionally was called Deer Ru …
