Thank you. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to Sun Life's Earnings Call for the First Quarter of 2022. Our earnings release and the slides for today's call are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at sunlife.com. We will begin today's call with an overview of our first quarter strategic highlights from Kevin D. Strain, President and Chief Executive Officer. Following Kevin's remarks, Manjit Singh, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will present the financial results for the quarter. After the prepared remarks, we will move to the question-and-answer portion of the call. Other members of management will also be available to answer your questions this morning. Turning to Slide 2. I draw your attention to the cautionary language regarding the use of forward-looking statements and non - IFRS financial measures, which form part of today's remarks. As noted in the slides forward-looking statements may be rendered inaccurate by subsequent events. And with that, I'll now turn things over to Kevin.
