Thank you.
Mr. Chair, the business that we have is based on sound fundamental principles. We invest in high-quality oil and gas fields in western Canada and also off the east coast of Canada. Our fund has been in business for over 18 years. As I mentioned earlier, we've consistently operated with the tax rulings from CRA with respect to the operation of this fund. It's been prudently financed. We receive cashflow from those properties on a monthly basis. We both pay distributions to our unitholders, cash distributions on a monthly basis, and we reinvest in property development in the sector.
The interesting thing there is that a number of the major companies now, instead of reinvesting—and there are huge amounts of capital required for our business going forward—are buying back shares. A number of the major multinationals are buying back their securities, whereas we are both making distributions to our unitholders and also making prudent capital investments. We're a world leader in Alberta in CO2 pilot-scale plants. We had one in Swan Hills last year, 22% owned. We had one this year at Judy Creek. We're very active in coalbed methane, new technology to acquire additional amounts of natural gas. We're a leader in enhanced oil recovery in our Judy Creek operations—
