Still comparing the same periods, net income before change in fair values increased by 111%, which allowed us to review our sustainable distribution policy in March, and thus increase the distribution per unit since April 2015.  With the private placement to come in the next few days, as well as the property acquisitions that will follow, we continue on our path for growth".
