Balance, end of period 127 The Corporation has estimated the future cost of decommissioning certain natural gas facilities. For the purposes of estimating the fair value of these decommissioning obligations, it was assumed that the costs will be incurred between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2109. The undiscounted cash flows required to settle the obligations total $318 million (2017 - $294 million). Discount rates between 1.3 per cent and 2.4 per cent were used to calculate the carrying amount of the obligation (2017 – 1.1 per cent and 2.4 per cent). No funds have been set aside by the Corporation to settle these obligations. 128 $ $
