Equity (losses) gains from investments in associates and joint ventures
We recorded a (loss) gain on investment of ($49 million) and $43 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to equity (losses) gains on our share of an obligation to repurchase at fair value the minority interest in one of BCE’s joint ventures. The obligation is marked to market each reporting period and the gain or loss on investment is recorded as equity gains or losses from investments in associates and joint ventures.
Losses on retirements and disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
In 2020, we recorded a loss of $45 million due to a change in strategic direction related to the ongoing development of some of our TV platform assets under construction.
