Notes

1) Lease liability

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Corporation recognized additional lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of IAS 17. Under the principles of the new lease standard, these leases have been measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. In some cases, that rate was not readily determined, therefore the Corporation’s weighted average incremental borrowing rates were applied. Weighted average incremental borrowing rates used were 4 per cent at April 1, 2019. Short-term and low-value leases were excluded. Total lease obligations of $14 million were recorded at April 1, 2019, of which $6 million is the current portion.

2) Right-of-use assets

The ROU assets for buildings, parking lots, computers and computer equipment were measured at an amount equal to the associated lease liability. The ROU assets for vehicles will be depreciating at a slower rate than the associated lease liability and are therefore recognized at a higher amount upon adoption.

3) Reclassification of finance leases

Leases previously accounted for as finance leases under IAS 17 were reclassified to ROU assets and lease liabilities from property, plant and equipment and finance lease obligations, respectively.

ii. Other changes

The following accounting standard changes, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements, are also effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019:  Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures  Annual improvements to IFRS (2015-17) cycle o IFRS 3 Business combinations o IFRS 11 Joint arrangements o IAS 23 Borrowing costs  Amendments to IAS 19 Employee benefits

b. Future changes in accounting policy

The following accounting standard changes are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020:  Revised Conceptual framework  Amendments to IFRS 3 Business combinations definition of a business  Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements and IAS 8 Accounting policies

It is expected that these changes will have little to no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation.
