Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Ninth Annual Meeting of Manulife Financial  Corporation, and the ###st Annual Meeting of the Manufacturers Life Insurance Company. My name is Arthur Sawchuk, and I am Chairman of both Manulife Financial Corporation and Manufacturers Life, and I will ask as Chairman of today's joint meeting. Before I get started, just in the event of any problem with the fire alarm or anything like that, I remind you that there's an exit through there, and there are a couple of exit doors there. There's also that exit door at the back. Should anything occur, please make an orderly exit through all of them as quickly as possible. Now this will be the ##th and the last annual meeting of Manulife that I will chair. It's been an enormous pleasure to have served the corporation, the shareholders and the policyholders. I've been blessed in having what I consider the best Board of Directors...
