You hit a couple of the answers actually in your question, but research and development for Syncrude is certainly in our DNA. We started as a research and development organization long before the company was the much larger company of today, back in 1964 with our 30 employees of Syncrude.
Certainly, our research efforts are targeted toward those areas I spoke about, the environmental areas, so environmental and tailings management are key, but it's also continued efficiencies that have benefits in emissions and also in profitability. And we continue to work on new and better processes, especially in our core technologies, which are really those that are key to our operation and that we have developed. We need to continue to improve those.
I don't see that we would stop pursuing these. In fact, innovation for us is key to our environmental performance, to our social licence, and to our ongoing profitability and good business sense. So for Syncrude, yes, research is in the future.
On your comment on incentivized research, we do research for those reasons. It's good business and it's good for sustainable operations and for improvement in performance, not necessarily for external incentives, while those do help.
