Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to CGI's Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Conference Call. I would now like to turn the meeting over to Mr. Kevin Linder SVP of Investor Relations. Please go ahead Mr. Linder.
Kevin Linder
Thank you, Joelle and good morning. With me to discuss CGI's second quarter fiscal 2024 results are George Schindler, our President and CEO; and Steve Perron, Executive Vice President and CFO. This call is being broadcast on cgi.com and recorded live at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday May 1 2024.

Please note that some statements made on the call may be forward-looking. Actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied and CGI disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
