| 1 | These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Changes in net income and/or other comprehensive income generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in net income and/or other comprehensive income may not be linear. In this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the amount of net income and/or other comprehensive income is calculated without changing any other factors; in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. |

| 1 | Fair value measured at the reporting date using significant other observable inputs (Level 2), except the fair value of virtual power purchase agreements (which we use to manage the price risk associated with the purchase of electrical power), which is measured at the reporting date using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | Six months | Periods ended June 30 | | 2024 | | 2023 | Unrealized changes in virtual power purchase agreements forward element | | | | | | | Included in net income, excluding income taxes | | $ | (103) | | $ | (26) | Balance, beginning of period | | | 193 | | | 193 | Balance, end of period | | $ | 90 | | $ | 167 |

| 3 | Designated as held for hedging (HFH) upon initial recognition (cash flow hedging item); hedge accounting is applied. Unless otherwise noted, hedge ratio is 1:1 and is established by assessing the degree of matching between the notional amounts of hedging items and the notional amounts of the associated hedged items. |
| 4 | Designated as held for trading (HFT) and classified as fair value through net income upon initial recognition; hedge accounting is not applied. |
| 5 | Designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation; hedge accounting is applied. Hedge ratio is 1:1 and is established by assessing the degree of matching between the notional amounts of hedging items and the notional amounts of the associated hedged items. |
| 6 | We designate only the spot element as the hedging item. As at June 30, 2024, the foreign currency basis spread included in the fair value of the derivative instruments, which is used for purposes of assessing hedge ineffectiveness, was $119 (December 31, 2023 – $163). |
| 7 | We designate only the spot element as the hedging item. As at June 30, 2024, the foreign currency basis spread included in the fair value of the derivative instruments, which is used for purposes of assessing hedge ineffectiveness, was $3 (December 31, 2023 - $3). |
