RE:RE:RE:RE:Break Even Cost Per barrel?Huh? Everything is being returned to unitholders, in form of dividends, buybacks, and improving the balance sheet. 7%+ eligible dividend is excellent. WCP is one of the best managed O&G Cos. They can't control the price of the shares, but they can take advantage of it through buybacks.

The share price has been in the dumps for a decade and very likely isn't going anywhere considering the ESG/NGO attacks on the sector. The only way we will ever see a respectable share price ever again, is when leadership & Boards come down from their gilded towers and share the wealth with investors. The dividend is about 7.4%. This is grossly inadequate in relation to share price volatility. Raising the dividend will reduce volatility as it incentives investors to hold during periods of share price decline. Don't get me wrong. It's good to see share buy backs. However shareholders should not always be the ones who bear the pain when management teams and boards opt to blow their brains out with bought deals. Perhaps it's time that management compensation be linked with performance based on the share price. 7% is barely adequate to hold any Canadian E&P in the current environment.

Thanks for that question there Patrick. Yes. As we go through the list of returns back to shareholders here the dividend at that .73 they're sustainable down $50 WTI. The yield from our perspective is too high. So there's certainly no rush for us to increase the dividend at this time. The priority would be around share buybacks. And that's why we've allocated the $200 million towards buying back our shares.
