We absolutely share the goal of having an exchange that 'has independent ownership and management and that operate[s] without conflict in a flourishing competitive market' -- and we believe our offer accomplishes precisely that. A combined Maple-TMX will be a Canadian regulated public company with an independent board of directors and more than 75% of its shares held by the public, Canadian pension funds and other non-bank owned investors. We believe competition will remain fierce, and we are prepared to work constructively with the Competition Bureau to address any questions it may have. We are confident we can obtain all necessary regulatory approvals, and that our offer continues to provide superior value, certainty and upside to TMX Group shareholders -- as well as a better outcome for Canadian capital market participants.
