All right. Thanks, Paul, and hi, everyone. Good morning, and thank you for joining us today on day 1 of our second 2-day actually conference. I’m Konark Gupta, transportation and industrials analyst at Scotiabank. As Paul was mentioning, we have some of the most respected leaders with us in the industrial sector today. So I’m really excited to start off this year’s conference with none other than CN Rail. And it’s my pleasure to have President and CEO, Tracy Robinson, with us today.

President, CEO & Director
Thank you, Konark. Good to see you. Listen, I think Paul gave our presentation already actually. He talked about all the economic stuff that’s going on, the risk, the opportunities. It seems we’re not alone.

Absolutely, Tracy. Welcome. And congrats for actually CN’s 30th anniversary of privatization. I think you guys were ringing some bells in Toronto and New York.
Tracy Robinson
President, CEO & Director
We did ring the bell — bells here in Toronto and in New York, 30th anniversary of our IPO. It was, at the time, 30 years ago, the largest IPO in Canadian history, and as I understand it, it’s still the second largest IPO in Canadian history. And it certainly set CN up for the path we’re on, and we power the economy. We work with industries to make sure that they can grow and get into the markets that they do. So it was a great celebration.
