Introduction

Good morning, and thank you, Ross, for the warm welcome.

Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg (ah-nish-naw-bek), the Chippewa (chi-peh-wah), the Haudenosaunee (hoh-DEE-noh-SHoh-nee) and the Wendat (wen-daht) peoples. I would like to thank them and pay respect to their Elders.

Thank you for inviting me to speak with you today. I am thrilled to be back at Radiodays
