Financial assets and liabilities are offset within the condensed consolidated statement of financial position if the Corporation has the legal right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis. When natural gas contracts settle or become realized, the Corporation records the amount due to or from counterparties within trade payables or trade receivables, respectively. The Corporation offsets these amounts when the counterparty and timing of settlement are the same, which reflects the Corporation’s expected future cash flows from settling its natural gas contracts. At period end, the following amounts were netted within the condensed consolidated statement of financial position:
