business solutions), voice, and other communication services and products, which are available to our residential, small and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">medium-sized</FONT> business and large enterprise customers primarily in Ontario,

telephone, long distance, data and other services from or to resellers and other carriers, as well as the results of operations of our national consumer electronics retailer, The Source (Bell) Electronics Inc. (The Source). Subsequent to year end,
Bell Canada announced a strategic partnership with Best Buy Canada to operate 165 The Source consumer electronics retail stores in Canada, which will be rebranded as Best Buy Express and offer the latest in consumer electronics from Best Buy along
with exclusive telecommunications services from Bell. In addition, Bell will wind down The Source head office and back office operations, as well as close 107 The Source stores. </P>

service offerings include the introduction of unlimited nationwide rate plans and access to 5G at an affordable price with no zones for members across Canada. These new offerings join the lineup of Virgin Plus service offerings including high-speed

We also continue to offer discounts on the price of wireless handsets in exchange for a contractual commitment from a subscriber, a practice also used by other Canadian wireless operators. As the Canadian wireless market further matures and

that when we borrow money, we can obtain lower interest rates than companies that have ratings lower than investment grade. Credit ratings are subject to change based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, our financial strength,
competitive position, liquidity and other factors that are not completely within our control. There is no assurance that we will maintain our current credit ratings and a ratings downgrade could result in adverse consequences for our funding cost

BCE&#146;s common share dividend payout policy. BCE&#146;s common share dividend payout policy is currently set to a target dividend payout ratio<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">&#8201;(1)</SUP> of 65% to 75% of free cash flow<SUP
STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">&#8201;(1)</SUP>. Our objective seeks to achieve dividend growth while maintaining our dividend payout ratio within the target range and balancing our strategic business priorities. As at December 31, 2023,
our dividend payout ratio was 111%, compared to 108% at December 31, 2022, which is higher than our policy range due to elevated capital expenditures compared to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-2020</FONT> annual levels as we continued to make
generational investments in our networks to support the buildout of our fibre, 5G and 5G+ network infrastructure. Although a significant reduction in capital expenditures is planned in 2024, due largely to government policy, they are expected to
remain higher </P></DIV><DIV STYLE="position:relative;float:left; margin-left:3%; width:49%;padding-right:0%;padding-bottom:8pt;overflow:visible;padding-top:3pt">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-2020</FONT> annual levels. In addition, free cash flow in 2024
will be adversely impacted by significantly higher severance payments related to workforce restructuring initiatives, higher interest paid and lower cash from working capital. As a result, BCE&#146;s dividend payout ratio will remain above our
target policy range in 2024. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">For additional information, refer to section 1.4, <I>Capital</I><I> </I><I>markets</I><I> </I><I>strategy</I><I>

seeking monetary damages and other relief. In particular, because of the nature of our consumer-facing business, we are exposed to class actions pursuant to which substantial monetary damages may be claimed. This section describes important legal
proceedings in which we were involved as at March 7, 2024. This list is not comprehensive and we are involved in a number of other legal proceedings. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties of the litigation process, we cannot predict the final
outcome or timing of claims and legal proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, and based on information currently available and management&#146;s assessment of the merits of the claims and legal proceedings pending at March 7, 2024, management
believes that the ultimate resolution of these claims and legal proceedings is unlikely to have a material and negative effect on our financial statements or operations. We believe that we have strong defences and we intend to vigorously defend our

Vid&eacute;otron is also seeking an injunction ordering Bell Canada to obtain a permit and comply with the provisions of the QCPA governing itinerant merchants. On January 8, 2019, Cogeco Connexion Inc. filed a claim in damages and for injunctive
relief against Bell Canada in the Qu&eacute;bec Superior Court, which is similar to the Vid&eacute;otron claim referred to above. The claim estimates damages at $9.2&nbsp;million. </P>

Bell MTS and NorthernTel, Limited Partnership by Rovi Guides, Inc. (Rovi) and Tivo Solutions Inc. (Tivo). The claim alleges that the defendants, through their manufacture, distribution, sale and use of certain features of their IPTV systems, have
infringed, and induced users to infringe, on six patents variously owned by the plaintiffs (the two Tivo patents were subsequently withdrawn). In addition to declaratory and injunctive relief, the plaintiffs seek damages in the form of unpaid
royalties in relation to the defendants&#146; revenues from their IPTV services or an accounting of the defendants&#146; profits. Following a trial on the merits of the liability phase, on October 7, 2022, the trial judge delivered a judgment
completely in the defendants&#146; favour, dismissing all of the plaintiffs&#146; claims and invalidating all four of the remaining patents. The plaintiffs&#146; appeal from that judgment was heard on November 29, 2023. The Federal Court of Appeal
reserved its decision. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On July 27, 2021, a further claim was filed in the Federal Court by Rovi against BCE Inc., Bell Canada, Bell Media, Bell

and use of certain features of their IPTV, satellite TV and OTT Crave systems, have infringed, and induced users to infringe, on four patents owned by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek similar damages as in the 2018 action. On February 15, 2023,
the Court granted the defendants&#146; motion to bifurcate the action into separate liability and damages phases. The plaintiffs were amended to include TiVo LLC and then subsequently to replace Rovi and TiVo with corporate successors Adeia Guides

November 2012. The plaintiff alleges that the notices provided by the defendants of the price increases were not compliant with the QCPA. The action seeks the reimbursement, since November 2012, of the monthly price increases, and payment of
punitive damages in the amount of $100 per class member. On July 10, 2017, the court authorized the action to proceed as a class action.

intention to reduce capital expenditures by over $1&nbsp;billion over 2024 and 2025 combined, including a minimum of $500&nbsp;million in 2024, that the company had planned to invest in bringing high-speed fibre Internet to hundreds of thousands of
additional homes and businesses in rural, suburban and urban communities. This reduction is in addition to Bell investing $105&nbsp;million less than planned in Q4 2023 as a result of the CRTC&#146;s decision. Prior to the decision, Bell&#146;s
near-term plan was to build high-speed fibre to 9&nbsp;million locations by the end of 2025. As a direct result of federal government policies and the CRTC&#146;s decision that discourages network investment, Bell is slowing the pace of fibre
footprint expansion to a near-term target of 8.3&nbsp;million locations by the end of 2025 and capping fibre speeds at 3 Gbps. </P>

Bell&#146;s largest workforce restructuring initiative in nearly 30 years, that will result in the reduction of our workforce by approximately 4,800 positions, or 9% of all BCE employees in 2024. These workforce reductions are expected to yield <FONT

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On February&nbsp;8, 2024, we announced a 3.1%, or 12 cents, increase in the annualized dividend payable on
BCE&#146;s common shares for 2024 to $3.99 per share from $3.87 per share in 2023, starting with the quarterly dividend payable on April&nbsp;15, 2024. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Our objective seeks to achieve dividend growth while maintaining our dividend payout ratio within the target policy range of 65% to 75% of free cash flow
and balancing our strategic business priorities. BCE&#146;s dividend payout policy, increases in the common share dividend and the declaration of dividends are subject to the discretion of the BCE Board of Directors (BCE Board) and, consequently,
there can be no guarantee that BCE&#146;s dividend policy will be maintained or achieved, that the dividend on common shares will be increased or that dividends will be declared.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">As at December&nbsp;31, 2023, our dividend payout ratio was 111%, compared to 108% at December&nbsp;31,
2022, which is higher than our policy range due to elevated capital expenditures compared to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-2020</FONT> annual levels as we continued to make generational investments in our networks to support the buildout of
our fibre, 5G and 5G+ network infrastructure. Although a significant reduction in capital expenditures is planned in 2024, due largely to government policy, they are expected to remain higher than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-2020</FONT>
annual levels. In addition, free cash flow in 2024 will be adversely impacted by significantly higher severance payments related to workforce restructuring initiatives, higher interest paid and lower cash from working capital. As a result,
BCE&#146;s dividend payout ratio will remain above our target policy range in 2024. </P></div><div style="clear:both; height:0pt; font-size:0pt">&nbsp;</div>

internal target range of 2.0 to 2.5 times adjusted EBITDA as we have been in a cycle of strategically accelerating our pace of capital expenditures to advance our network and transformation investments, acquiring wireless spectrum, financing a
number of strategic acquisitions and making voluntary pension plan funding contributions. As well, our net debt leverage ratio was adversely affected by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> impacts on our business and the adoption of
IFRS 16 that added $2.3&nbsp;billion of lease liabilities to net debt<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">&#8201;</SUP><SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(1)</SUP> on our balance sheet on January&nbsp;1, 2019. Our objective is
to see our net debt leverage ratio decline over time to be in the range of 3.0 times adjusted EBITDA. While currently in excess of this level, our net debt leverage ratio is still consistent with a strong balance sheet, ample financial flexibility
and investment grade credit ratings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">This new objective is higher than the previous target for our net debt leverage ratio, which was established
several years ago. Since that time, our leverage level has largely exceeded that target and yet we have maintained adequate financial flexibility through various market conditions. Moreover, at the time of setting our previous targets, we had
sizeable pension funding deficits. We currently have sizeable surpluses. While pension funding deficits and surpluses are not factored into the net debt leverage ratio, the deficits represented a potential future cash funding requirement while the
current surpluses allow us to take contribution holidays, enhancing our financial flexibility. We believe the new objective of 3.0 times adjusted EBITDA is reflective of our operational size and strength, an optimized cost of capital, and is aligned
with the expectations of our investors, lenders and other stakeholders.

an increase in interest expense in 2023 attributable to higher average debt balances and higher interest rates. Given the correlation between this ratio and the net debt leverage ratio, we are simplifying our internal targets to reflect the net debt
leverage ratio only and will not report against the adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio target in the future. We believe that this ratio is of less relative importance to our investors, lenders and other stakeholders as a measure

function:</B> This function is responsible for the regulatory portfolio, including an expanding range of obligations set out in new privacy and data protection laws being enacted in Canada and around the world. BCE has developed, and maintains, an
enhanced Data Governance Policy that encompasses the protection and appropriate use of data across its life cycle. A significant element of the data governance program relies on the Corporate Security activities outlined below and these two
functions work jointly with data owners, data custodians and other relevant employees to seek to ensure this policy is appropriately implemented. We recognize that a strong and consistently applied approach to data governance is essential to
maintaining the social licence necessary to achieve our business objectives. For more information on our approach to privacy and data security, refer to section 1.6, <I>Capitals and our corporate responsibility</I>, in this MD&amp;A. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify"><B>Finance function:</B> BCE&#146;s Finance function plays a pivotal role in seeking to identify, assess and manage risks through a number of activities,
which include financial performance management, external reporting, pension management, capital management, and oversight and execution practices related to the U.S. <I>Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002</I> and equivalent Canadian securities legislation,
including the establishment and maintenance of appropriate internal control over financial reporting. BCE has also established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures to seek to ensure that the information it publicly discloses, including
its business risks, is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. For more details concerning BCE&#146;s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, refer to the Proxy Circular

aspects of security, which requires a deep understanding of the business, the risk environment and the external stakeholder environment. Based on this understanding, Corporate Security sets the standards of performance required across the
organization through security policies and directives that define requirements to protect team members, company assets and information. In high and emerging risk areas such as information security, Corporate Security leverages its experience and
competence to develop strategies intended to mitigate the organization&#146;s risks. For instance, we have implemented security awareness training, policies and directives that seek to mitigate information security threats. We further rely on
security assessments to identify risks and review projects with the objective of ensuring that systems are deployed with the appropriate level of control, including access management, vulnerability management, security monitoring and testing. We
evaluate and seek to adapt our security policies and directives designed to protect our information and assets in light of the continuously evolving nature and sophistication of information security threats. However, given the complexity and scale
of our business, network infrastructure, technology and IT support systems, there can be no assurance that the security policies and directives that we implement will prevent the occurrence of all potential information security breaches. In
addition, although BCE has contracted an insurance policy covering information security risk, there can be no assurance that any insurance we may have will cover the costs, damages, liabilities or losses that could result from the occurrence of any
information security breach. </P></DIV><DIV STYLE="position:relative;float:left; margin-left:3%; width:49%;padding-right:0%;padding-bottom:8pt;overflow:visible;padding-top:3pt">

health and safety risks and opportunities. This cross-functional committee seeks to ensure that relevant risks are adequately recognized and mitigation activities are well integrated and aligned across the organization and are supported with
sufficient resources. The HSSEC Committee also mandates the company&#146;s Energy Board, a working group composed of business unit employees, including vice-presidents and directors, to ensure oversight of our overall energy consumption and costs
with the objective of minimizing financial and reputational risks while maximizing business opportunities. The Energy Board also oversees the progress made towards meeting our GHG emissions reduction and supplier engagement targets. In addition, the
company&#146;s Climate Resiliency Task Force, composed of senior vice-presidents, vice-presidents, directors and managers, reports to the HSSEC Committee and assists in building a climate resiliency governance to seek to address the potential

corporate and business unit strategies, assist in identifying corporate responsibility areas for further improvement, establish relevant ESG metrics, respond to stakeholders&#146; concerns, review ESG public disclosures, approve procedures seeking
to verify the accuracy of publicly disclosed ESG information and support various corporate responsibility initiatives. The CR Board reports on progress to the HSSEC Committee, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-chairs</FONT> of which report to

aggregate, at least 30% of the total strategic imperatives score. The strategic imperative score represents 40% weighting of the Corporate Performance Index within the AIP. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Since 1993, BCE had been publishing a Corporate Responsibility Report detailing our performance in managing ESG issues. In 2022, for the first time, we
presented both our financial and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> performance in an Integrated annual report following the principles of the &lt;IR&gt; Framework now part of the International Financial Reporting Standards. We
believe this approach provides a useful basis for disclosing how we seek to create sustained value for our stakeholders over time. An integral element of the &lt;IR&gt; Framework are the six pillars, called &#147;capitals&#148; (our networks, our
customers and relationships, our products and services, our environment, our people and our financial resources). We call them capitals because they are inputs to value creation.

a governance framework that includes the Diversity Leadership Council with senior leaders from every business unit, business unit committees and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">employee-led</FONT> networks, including Black Professionals at Bell,
Pride at Bell, Diversability at Bell and Women at Bell. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In line with our objective of improving gender diversity, our current gender diversity target
for the Board is a minimum of 35% gender diverse directors, defined as directors who identify as women and directors who identify with a gender other than a man or a woman. This target was met from its adoption, in 2021, until the appointment of
Johan Wibergh to the Board on November&nbsp;1, 2023, following which (and as of December&nbsp;31, 2023) 33% of all directors identified as women. With the increase in the number of directors upon his appointment, the Board is temporarily below the
target to allow for an orderly transition ahead of the retirements of David F. Denison and Robert C. Simmonds at the end of the 2024 Annual General Shareholder Meeting (the Meeting) in May. The target will be met again if all director nominees are
elected at the Meeting, after which directors identifying as women will represent 38% of all directors. In step with our overarching corporate objective to improve gender diversity across levels, including in our senior leadership, Bell was a
signatory to the Catalyst Accord 2022<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">&#8201;</SUP><SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(2)</SUP> and is currently a member of the 30%

women within executive leadership positions and serving on Canadian corporate boards to at least 30%. In 2022 and 2023, Bell exceeded that target with 32% women in executive positions but did not
achieve Bell&#146;s goal of at least 35% gender diverse executives (vice president level and above) by the end of 2023 and in July 2023, we extended our target date to achieve this goal to the end of 2025. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Bell continues to take meaningful actions to address the impacts of systemic racism experienced by Black, Indigenous and Persons of Colour (BIPOC). Our
goal is to reach at least 25% BIPOC representation in our senior management team by 2025. As of the end of 2023, we were at 23%. We exceeded our target of 40% BIPOC representation in our new graduate and intern hires, achieving 66% representation in
2023. Ongoing partnerships with the Onyx Initiative and the Black Professionals in Tech Network are helping drive the recruitment of Black college and university students and promote Black talent in technology. Bell Media continues to promote
greater diversity in Canadian media with the HireBIPOC website and the Bell Media Content Diversity Task Force in partnership with BIPOC TV&nbsp;&amp; Film. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Scope 1 emissions are direct GHG emissions from sources that are controlled by Bell. Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the
consumption of purchased electricity, heating/cooling and steam required by Bell&#146;s activities. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are sometimes collectively referred to in this MD&amp;A as &#147;operational emissions&#148;. Scope 3 emissions are all

emissions from scope 3 (upstream and downstream indirect emissions) occur from sources owned or controlled by other entities in Bell&#146;s value chain (such as our suppliers, employees and customers). As a result, measuring scope 3 emissions is
more complex than measuring scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, for which we are able to obtain primary data (such as litres of fuel consumed within our vehicle fleet and kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed within our buildings). For scope 3
categories for which primary data is not available, we have to rely on secondary data (such as financial data and industry-average data from published databases). These data collection challenges contribute to uncertainty in scope 3 emissions
measurement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Carbon neutrality </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">We will measure our carbon

our scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions that will not have been avoided by internal initiatives, in addition to RECs to reduce our scope 2 emissions. In 2023, our scope 1 and 2 emissions represented 12% of our total carbon footprint. Our target for carbon

reduced workforce, are projected to drive year-over-year growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Directly as a result of federal government policies and the CRTC&#146;s decision in November 2023 to mandate wholesale access to Bell&#146;s FTTP
network, we plan a significant reduction in capital expenditures that will lead to a slowdown in our pure fibre build and lower spending in highly-regulated businesses. Despite expected growth in adjusted EBITDA and lower planned capital
expenditures, a combination of higher severance payments related to workforce restructuring initiatives, higher interest paid and lower projected cash from working capital is expected to drive lower free cash flow.

software providers, VoIP providers and other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">web-based</FONT> players that are penetrating the communications space with significant resources and a large customer base over which to amortize costs. Certain of these
competitors are changing the competitive landscape by establishing a material market presence, which has accelerated in recent years. Established competitors further seek to consolidate or expand their product offerings through acquisitions in order
to increase scale and market opportunities in light of these changes in market dynamics. In particular, the combination of Rogers Communications Inc. (Rogers) with Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) in April 2023 created a Canadian competitor with
larger scale, and the acquisition of Freedom Mobile by Vid&eacute;otron Ltd. (Vid&eacute;otron) also increases its scale with a change in competitive dynamics in several provinces, which could have adverse implications in particular for our Bell CTS
segment. Failure to effectively respond to such evolving competitive dynamics could adversely affect our business and financial results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Technology
substitution, IP networks and recent regulatory decisions, in particular, continue to facilitate entry in our industry. In addition, the effects of government policies that result in the acquisition of spectrum at favourable pricing by regional
facilities-based wireless service providers distort market dynamics. These factors have changed industry economics and allowed competitors to launch new products and services and gain market share with far less investment in financial, marketing,
human, technological and network resources than has historically been required. In particular, with regulatory decisions mandating wholesale rates for wireline Internet and mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) access, competitors can deliver their
services over our networks, leveraging regulatory obligations applicable to us, therefore limiting their need to invest in building their own networks and impacting the network-based differentiation of our services. Such lower required investment
challenges the monetization of our networks and our operating model. Moreover, foreign OTT players are currently not subject to the same Canadian content investment obligations as those imposed on Canadian domestic digital suppliers, which provides
them with a competitive advantage over us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">New technologies create a potential for diversifying our product and service offerings and create growth
opportunities. However, if we are unable to develop and deploy new solutions in advance of or concurrently with our competitors, if the market does not adopt these new technologies in pace with our deployment of new solutions, or if we fail to
adequately assess and manage the risks associated with these new solutions, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

experience may hinder our ability to build customers&#146; trust in our innovation and technological capabilities and our ability to compete on footprint, service experience and cost structure. Any one or more of the above could have an adverse

activities if such transformation causes poor service performance, which in turn may adversely affect our ability to achieve operational and financial objectives. Failure to quickly maximize adaptable infrastructures, processes and technologies to
efficiently respond to evolving customer patterns and behaviours and to leverage IP and automation across many facets of our network, product and service portfolio could inhibit a fully customer-centric approach. This could reduce our ability to
provide comprehensive self-serve convenience, real-time provisioning, cost savings and flexibility in delivery and consumption, leading to negative business and financial outcomes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">We further seek to expand our network footprint to enhance our value proposition and meet customer needs while deploying technologies to support growth.
However, adverse government, regulatory or court decisions may impact the specific nature, magnitude, location and timing of investment decisions. In particular, the requirement to provide aggregated access to our FTTP facilities on a wholesale
basis, lowering of rates by the CRTC of mandated wholesale services over FTTP and/or FTTN, the imposition of unfavourable terms or the adoption of unfavourable rates in arbitration processes associated with the facilities-based MVNO access service
the CRTC has implemented, the potential for additional mandated access to our networks, or the imposition of broader wholesale obligations on wireless networks would undermine the incentives for facilities-based digital infrastructure providers to
invest in next-generation wireline and wireless networks. Failure to continue investment in next-generation capabilities in a disciplined, timely and strategic manner could limit our ability to compete effectively and to achieve desired business and
financial results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Other examples of risks that could affect the achievement of our desired technology/infrastructure transformation include the

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">BCE operating revenues grew by 2.1% in 2023, compared to last year, attributable to higher product revenues
of 9.4%, primarily due to greater wireless device sales, coupled with higher wireline equipment sales to large enterprise customers due to the alleviating year-over-year impact from global supply chain disruptions experienced in 2022. Service
revenues also contributed to the growth in BCE operating revenues, increasing by 0.9% year over year, mainly from higher wireless and Internet revenues combined with the contribution from various acquisitions made during the year. This was moderated
by continued erosion in legacy voice, data and satellite TV revenues, as well as lower media advertising revenues, primarily driven by ongoing unfavourable economic conditions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2023, net earnings decreased by 20.5%, compared to 2022, due to higher other expense mainly due to losses on our equity investments in associates and
joint ventures which included a loss on BCE&#146;s share of an obligation to repurchase at fair value the minority interest in one of BCE&#146;s joint ventures, higher interest expense, higher depreciation and amortization and higher severance,
acquisition and other costs, partly offset by higher adjusted EBITDA and lower impairment of assets.

segment, partly offset by a decline in our Bell Media segment. The year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA reflected higher operating revenues, partly offset by increased operating expenses, primarily attributable to greater cost of revenue,
associated with the revenue growth, moderated by various cost reduction initiatives and operating efficiencies. This drove a corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin of 42.2% in 2023, which remained unchanged from last year. </P>

increase in the rate of penetration in line with the trend toward multiple devices, and the ongoing adoption of mobile devices and services. With penetration rates in other developed nations well above 100% (United States, Europe and Asia), the
Canadian mobile phone penetration rate is expected to continue to increase, above and beyond the approximate rate of 91% for 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2023, the
Canadian wireless industry continued to experience heightened levels of competition nationally, particularly within the flanker brand environment. This competitive intensity has led to continued declines in chargeable data usage and rising levels of
data allocation in monthly plans, including unlimited data plans, in addition to other ongoing factors, such as the popularity of data sharing plans and an evolving shift in the customer mix toward
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-traditional</FONT> mobile devices and tools such as video chats. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">roll-out</FONT> of 5G network infrastructure continued in 2023, with 5G coverage by the national carriers
reaching approximately 86% of the Canadian population at the end of 2023, compared to approximately 80% at the end of 2022. For Bell, our long-standing focus on network excellence is reflected in the recognition we received from independent
third-party sources in 2023, including being recognized as Canada&#146;s fastest and best 5G network by GWS for the third consecutive year in its 2023 nationwide assessment of 5G networks. New this year, GWS&#146;s testing included 3500 MHz network
wireless spectrum and determined Bell&#146;s network (5G+) performance to be the fastest and best in the country. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The Canadian wireless industry

7.5&nbsp;million Internet subscribers received their service over the networks of the three largest cable companies at the end of 2023, relatively unchanged from 2022. Meanwhile, an estimated 7.6&nbsp;million Internet subscribers received their
service over the networks of incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) like Bell at the end of 2023, compared to approximately 7.2&nbsp;million at the end of 2022. Bell continues to make gains in market share as a result of the ongoing expansion of
our FTTP direct fibre network and increased customer penetration of bundled service offerings. Our ongoing focus on FTTP and its superior characteristics as compared to cable, such as higher and symmetrical download and upload speeds, has allowed us
to connect more than 7&nbsp;million homes and businesses in Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba to our pure fibre technology. Notably, Bell pure fibre Internet was awarded fastest in Canada in Ookla&#146;s <FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">While Canadians still watch conventional TV, digital streaming platforms are playing an increasingly important role in the broadcasting industry and in
the distribution of content. Popular online video services are providing Canadians with more choice about where, when and how to access video content. In 2023, ILECs offering IPTV service expanded their subscriber base by an estimated 4% to reach
3.5&nbsp;million customers, or a 38% market share, up compared to approximately 34% at the end of 2022, through wider network coverage, enhanced differentiated services and bundled offerings, and marketing and promotions focused on IPTV.
Canada&#146;s three largest cable companies had an estimated 4.7&nbsp;million TV subscribers, or a 50% market share at the end of 2023, up compared to 48% at the end of 2022. The balance of industry subscribers were served by satellite TV and
regional providers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In recent years, two of the largest Canadian cable companies have launched new TV services based on the Comcast X1 video platform
&#150; Rogers (and previously Shaw prior to its acquisition by Rogers) and Qu&eacute;becor&#146;s Vid&eacute;otron brand. Our IPTV platform (Fibe TV, Fibe TV app and Virgin Plus TV) continues to offer numerous service advantages compared to this
cable platform, including: flexible pricing plans and packages available to all customers; picture clarity and quality; content depth and breadth; the number of ways customers can access content, including wireless
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">set-top</FONT> boxes, Restart TV, higher-capacity PVR and the Fibe TV app. We continue to offer more <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-demand</FONT> content and more OTT content with Crave, Netflix, Prime Video and

products and services </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Wireless growth continues to be driven by the ongoing increase in data usage and adoption, including: higher- value
smartphones, unlimited data offerings, shared family data plans, and IoT devices. In addition, consumers continue to replace wireline access services with wireless access and related data services. These trends are expected to drive the growing
demand for wireless data services for the foreseeable future, particularly as the industry continues to shift to 5G. Industry ARPU is expected to continue moderating, compared to periods prior to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT>
pandemic, particularly now that the industry has lapped the meaningful recovery in roaming revenues, which had fallen during the peak of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic. Furthermore, as a result of increased competitive
intensity, the industry continues to see greater adoption of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">bring-your-own-device</FONT></FONT> (BYOD) additions, resulting in increased switching activity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">While LTE and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">LTE-A</FONT> technologies increase download speeds, encourage data usage and enhance the customer
experience, growth in data traffic poses challenges to mobile access technology. To better manage this data traffic, Canadian providers continue to evolve their networks and deploy spectrum to support the shift to 5G. ISED held its auction of
spectrum in the 3800 MHz band in the fourth quarter of 2023 and announced an auction for millimetre wave (mmWave) spectrum; these bands are important for the expansion of 5G networks. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">IoT technologies connect communications-enabled devices via wireless technologies, allowing them to exchange key information and share processes. Advanced
platforms and networks are already in place in industries such as transportation and logistics, utilities and fleet management, with deployment ongoing in other sectors, including smart cities, manufacturing, retail, food services, consumer
utilities, and connected cars. These industries are adopting IoT solutions, combined with other applications, to digitally transform their operations and generate value from their connections. IoT presents a meaningful opportunity for growth in
wireless connectivity, which can deliver services to customers more efficiently. IoT connectivity generally has a lower ARPU when sold as a stand-alone service, but supports both revenue and margin growth, since it often leads to the sale of IoT
applications or our other service offerings, enhancing customer penetration. In 2023, we added 293,307 mobile connected devices, bringing our mobile connected device subscriber base to more than 2.7&nbsp;million, up 11% from 2022. </P>

market is expected to remain very competitive in 2024. Although the residential high-speed internet market is maturing, with a penetration rate of approximately 92% across Canada at the end of 2023, subscriber growth is expected to continue over the
coming years. Technology substitution, including the growth of wireless and VoIP services, is expected to continue to replace higher-margin legacy voice revenues, while digital streaming services and other online content providers are expected to
impact current linear TV services. Bell is an important provider of these substitution services and the decline in this legacy business is continuing as expected.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Wireless subscriber growth is expected to be supported by an ongoing 5G upgrade cycle, strong immigration levels and our continued focus on multi-product
cross sales. We are focused on increasing our market share of national operators&#146; postpaid mobile phone net additions in a disciplined and cost-conscious manner. We expect higher, but more moderate, growth in ARPU driven by increased 5G
subscriptions and higher roaming revenue, partly offset by reduced data overage revenue resulting from the continued adoption of unlimited plans. We will also seek to achieve higher revenues from the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">flow-through</FONT> of pricing changes, as well as IoT services and applications. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Continued expansion of our retail
Internet and IPTV subscriber bases is expected to be supported by a broader FTTP service footprint together with higher household penetration, further penetration of WHI access technology in rural communities, further scaling of Bell&#146;s <FONT

best customer experience with our products, and driving greater cross-sell penetration of higher value mobility and Internet households.

product sales and project spending by large enterprise customers combined with wireless subscriber growth. However, as large enterprise customers continue to look for opportunities to leverage <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-cost</FONT>
technologies to grow and transform the workforce of the future and face increased uncertainty about future economic conditions, spending on telecommunications services and products is expected to be variable. In addition, ongoing customer migrations
from traditional technologies to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">IP-based</FONT> systems and demand for cheaper bandwidth alternatives will continue to impact business markets&#146; results in 2024. We intend to seek to offset the revenue decline
from traditional legacy telecommunications services by continuing to develop unique services and value enhancements to improve the client experience through services such as cloud, security and workforce automation solutions. Further, we intend to
use marketing initiatives and other customer-specific strategies with the objective of slowing the pace of NAS erosion, while also investing in direct fibre expansion, 5G and new solutions in key portfolios such as Internet, private networks, voice
and unified communications, cloud solutions, security solutions, cloud-based contact centre, IoT and MEC. We will also continue to focus on delivering network-centric managed and professional services solutions to large and <FONT

of online entertainment and information alternatives, with new options being added yearly. The increase in alternative entertainment options has led to a fragmentation in consumption habits. Traditional linear TV still delivers higher viewership
compared to other forms of video consumption, although the gap is closing with more people consuming content from an assortment of services and in a variety of formats. In particular, today&#146;s viewers are
</P></DIV><DIV STYLE="position:relative;float:left; margin-left:3%; width:49%;padding-right:0%;padding-bottom:8pt;overflow:visible;padding-top:3pt">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">consuming more content online, watching less scheduled programming live, time-shifting original broadcasts
through PVRs, viewing more video on mobile devices, and catching up on an expanded library of past programming <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-demand.</FONT> While households use pure OTT services, such as Crave, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+
and Apple TV+, to complement linear TV consumption, an increasing number are using these services as alternatives to a traditional linear package. With the increase of options in the alternative market, content is more widespread than ever before
across providers, resulting in a more competitive landscape. This has resulted in price increases and consumers&#146; need to subscribe to more than one service. The industry has responded with bundling options, lower price ad tiers, and an increase
in free, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ad-supported</FONT> streaming television (FAST) channels, such as The Roku Channel, Tubi and Pluto TV. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Premium video content remains vitally important to media companies in attracting and retaining viewers and advertisers. This content, including live
sports and special events, should continue to draw audiences and advertisers moving forward. Heightened competition for these rights from global competitors, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, DAZN and Apple TV+, has already resulted in higher
program rights costs and may also make it more difficult to secure content. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Consumer behaviour is continually changing and media companies are
adjusting by evolving and personalizing their content and product offerings. Media companies have launched their own solutions with the objective of better competing with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-traditional</FONT> offerings through DTC
products such as Bell Media&#146;s bilingual Crave service, TSN and RDS, all of which offer streaming on a variety of platforms. While the SVOD model continues to dominate the streaming landscape, AVOD and FAST services are seeing tremendous growth
due to the appeal to price-conscious consumers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In addition, there has been a shift in how advertisers want to buy advertising across all media
platforms. The growth of digital consumption has also given advertisers the opportunity to buy more targeted inventory and to buy inventory via self-serve and programmatically. As a result, Bell Media and other media companies have initiated
programs to sell their advertising inventory on a more targeted basis through updated buying platforms with enhanced access to data and are now selling their inventory on programmatic buying platforms.

contribution from acquisitions, mainly Distributel and FX Innovation, greater wireless roaming revenues and higher sales of business solutions services to large enterprise customers. This was moderated by increased acquisition, retention and bundle
discounts on residential services, ongoing erosion in legacy voice, data and satellite TV services and lower wireless data overages driven by greater customer adoption of monthly plans with higher data thresholds. Additionally, product revenues
increased by 3.6% year over year, mainly driven by higher wireless product revenues due to greater sales mix of premium mobile phones and lower year-over-year device discounting during the Black Friday and December holiday periods, moderated by

efficiencies, including workforce reductions. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 42.1% in Q4 2023, increased by 1.2 points over Q4 2022, mainly due to the impact of better promotional offer discipline during the Black Friday and December holiday sales

decreased by 13.7% in Q4 2023, compared to Q4 2022, due to lower demand from advertisers as a result of ongoing unfavourable economic conditions, which negatively impacted revenues across our TV and radio platforms. TV advertising revenues were also
unfavourably impacted by the WGA and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">SAG-AFTRA</FONT> strikes and the benefit last year from the broadcast of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. The decline in advertising revenues was partly offset by continued growth
in digital advertising revenues, mainly driven by increased bookings from Bell Media&#146;s SAM TV media sales tool. Subscriber revenues increased by 1.0% in Q4 2023, compared to the same period last year, due to a

expenditures was driven by lower capital spending in Bell CTS of $584&nbsp;million, due to lower planned spending in 2023 subsequent to accelerated network investments in 2022, along with an unplanned additional $105&nbsp;million decrease in Q4 2023
as a result of the CRTC&#146;s decision in November 2023 to mandate wholesale access to Bell&#146;s FTTP network. Bell Media capital expenditures in Q4 2023 also declined year-over-year by $25&nbsp;million, due to greater spending in Q4 2022 on

quarters. For ARPU, historically we have experienced seasonal sequential increases in the second and third quarters, due to higher levels of usage and roaming in the spring and summer months, followed by historical seasonal sequential declines in
the fourth and first quarters. However, this seasonal effect on ARPU has moderated, as unlimited voice and data options have become more prevalent, resulting in less variability in chargeable data usage.

fluctuations in consumer retail activity during the year. </P></div><div style="clear:both; height:0pt; font-size:0pt">&nbsp;</div>

regulatory initiatives and proceedings, government consultations and government positions that affect us, influence our business and may continue to affect our ability to compete in the marketplace. Bell Canada and several of its direct and indirect

made by various regulatory agencies, including the CRTC, a quasi-judicial agency of the Government of Canada responsible for regulating Canada&#146;s telecommunications and broadcasting industries, and other federal government departments, in
particular ISED and the Competition Bureau. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In particular, the CRTC regulates the prices we can charge for retail telecommunications services when it
determines there is not enough competition to protect the interests of consumers. The CRTC has determined that competition is sufficient to grant forbearance from retail price regulation under the <I>Telecommunications Act</I> for the vast majority

competitors to our wireline and wireless networks and the rates we can charge them. Notably, it currently mandates wholesale high-speed access for wireline broadband as well as domestic wireless
roaming services and a wholesale facilities-based MVNO access service. Lower mandated wholesale rates or the imposition of unfavourable terms for mandated services would undermine our incentives to invest in network improvements and extensions,
limit our flexibility, influence the market structure, improve the business position of our competitors, limit network-based differentiation of our services and negatively impact the financial performance of our businesses. Our TV distribution and
our TV and radio broadcasting businesses are subject to the <I>Broadcasting Act</I> and are, for the most part, not subject to retail price regulation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Although most of our retail services are not price-regulated, government agencies and departments such as the CRTC, ISED, Canadian Heritage and the
Competition Bureau continue to play a significant role in regulatory matters such as establishing and modifying regulations for mandatory access to networks, spectrum auctions, the imposition of consumer-related codes of conduct, approval of
acquisitions, broadcast and spectrum licensing, foreign ownership requirements, privacy and cybersecurity obligations, and control of copyright piracy. Adverse decisions by governments or regulatory agencies, increasing regulation or a lack of
effective anti-piracy remedies could have negative financial, operational, reputational or competitive consequences for our business.

for MVNO access would not be subject to the CRTC tariff regime but instead be commercially negotiated between the parties with final offer arbitration (FOA) by the CRTC as a recourse if negotiations fail. The CRTC indicated that the mandated access
service is intended to be a temporary measure and will, in the absence of certain implementation delays, be phased out seven years from the date tariffed terms and conditions are finalized. In the decision, the CRTC has also required Bell Mobility,
Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Telus Communications Inc. to provide seamless handoffs as part of the CRTC&#146;s existing mandated domestic roaming service and has confirmed that its mandatory roaming obligations apply to 5G. On July&nbsp;14,
2021, Bell Mobility, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Telus Communications Inc. and SaskTel filed proposed tariff terms and conditions for the mandated MVNO access service and Bell Mobility, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Telus
Communications Inc. filed proposed amendments to their mandated roaming tariffs to reflect the CRTC&#146;s determinations. On April&nbsp;6, 2022, the CRTC issued a decision on the mandated roaming tariffs in which it directed Bell Mobility, Rogers
Communications Canada Inc. and Telus Communications Inc. to make specified changes to their tariffs by April&nbsp;21, 2022, for CRTC approval.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On October&nbsp;19, 2022, the CRTC issued a decision in which it made certain determinations regarding the
terms and conditions of the proposed MVNO tariffs previously filed by Bell Mobility, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Telus Communications Inc. and SaskTel, and directed them to file revised tariffs reflecting these determinations within
30&nbsp;days. In the decision, the CRTC directed Bell Mobility, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Telus Communications Inc. and SaskTel to offer MVNO access service to regional carriers with a home radio access network (RAN) and core network
actively offering mobile wireless services commercially to retail customers in Canada, and confirmed that similar terms and conditions related to seamless handoffs and 5G in the domestic roaming tariffs should apply to the mandated MVNO tariffs. The
CRTC required Bell Mobility, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Telus Communications Inc. and SaskTel to begin accepting requests for MVNO access from regional wireless carriers from the date of the decision. Bell Mobility is required to provide
access to the mandated MVNO service in all provinces (excluding Saskatchewan) and in the three territories. It is unclear at this time what impact, if any, the measures set out in this decision could have on our business and financial results, and
our ability to make investments at the same levels as we have in the past. In Q3&nbsp;2023, we began providing MVNO access service on Bell Mobility&#146;s network in certain regions and expect that use of the service on our network by our wholesale
customers will continue to expand in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On July&nbsp;13, 2023, the CRTC accepted a request from Qu&eacute;becor Media&nbsp;Inc. to initiate
FOA in respect of rates for MVNO access service from Bell Mobility. Following the parties&#146; submissions in August&nbsp;2023, the CRTC issued a decision on October&nbsp;10, 2023, selecting the rate proposed by Bell Mobility. On December&nbsp;15,
2023, Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. subsequently filed a Part 1&nbsp;application seeking the CRTC&#146;s intervention in determining the start date for the MVNO access service from Bell Mobility. Bell Mobility filed its responding submission on
January&nbsp;19, 2024. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The CRTC previously accepted a joint request for FOA from Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. On
July&nbsp;24, 2023, the CRTC issued its decision in that arbitration, selecting the rate proposed by Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. In the decision, the CRTC made a number of findings or determinations that indicate a continued trend toward downplaying
the importance of incentives for investment in telecommunications networks in Canada. While the CRTC&#146;s determination in Bell Mobility&#146;s FOA with Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc appears to have moderated this approach by highlighting the
importance of providing a return on investment to facilities-based carriers, adverse regulatory decisions such as the Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc FOA decision are expected to impact the specific nature, magnitude,
location and timing of our future wireless and wireline investment decisions. On August&nbsp;23, 2023, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. sought leave to appeal the CRTC&#146;s arbitration decision with the Federal Court of Appeal. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">As part of its ongoing review of wholesale Internet rates, on October&nbsp;6, 2016, the CRTC significantly reduced, on an interim basis, some of the
wholesale rates that Bell Canada and other major providers charge for access by third-party Internet resellers to FTTN or cable networks, as applicable. On August&nbsp;15, 2019, the CRTC further reduced the wholesale rates that Internet resellers
pay to access network infrastructure built by facilities-based providers like Bell Canada, with retroactive effect to March&nbsp;2016.
</P></DIV><DIV STYLE="position:relative;float:left; margin-left:3%; width:49%;padding-right:0%;padding-bottom:8pt;overflow:visible;padding-top:3pt">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The August&nbsp;2019 decision was stayed, first by the Federal Court of Appeal and then by the CRTC, with
the result that it never came into effect. In response to review and vary applications filed by each of Bell Canada, five major cable carriers (Cogeco Communications&nbsp;Inc., Eastlink, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Shaw and Vid&eacute;otron)
and Telus Communications Inc., the CRTC issued Decision <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2021-182&nbsp;on</FONT> May&nbsp;27, 2021, which mostly reinstated the rates prevailing prior to August&nbsp;2019 with some reductions to the Bell Canada rates
with retroactive effect to March&nbsp;2016. As a result, in the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a reduction in revenue of $44&nbsp;million in our consolidated income statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">While there remains a requirement to refund monies to third-party Internet resellers, the establishment of final wholesale rates that are similar to those
prevailing since&nbsp;2019 reduces the impact of the CRTC&#146;s long-running review of wholesale Internet rates. The largest reseller, TekSavvy Solutions&nbsp;Inc. (TekSavvy), obtained leave to appeal the CRTC&#146;s decision of
May&nbsp;27,&nbsp;2021 before the Federal Court of Appeal. Oral hearings are now complete and we are awaiting a decision of the court. The decision was also challenged in three petitions brought by TekSavvy, Canadian Network Operators
Consortium&nbsp;Inc. and National Capital Freenet before Cabinet but, on May&nbsp;26, 2022, Cabinet announced it would not alter the decision. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Review of the
wholesale high-speed access service&nbsp;framework </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On March&nbsp;8, 2023, the CRTC launched a consultation, TNC
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2023-56,</FONT> to review the wholesale high-speed access framework. The CRTC expressed the preliminary views that (i)&nbsp;the provision of aggregated wholesale high-speed access services should be mandated,
including over FTTP facilities, and (ii)&nbsp;aggregated access to FTTP facilities should be mandated on a temporary and expedited basis, until the CRTC reaches a decision as to whether such access is to be provided indefinitely. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The review is also notably seeking comments on (i)&nbsp;the future of disaggregated high-speed access services, (ii)&nbsp;the state of competition in the
retail Internet service market, (iii)&nbsp;whether other changes are required to support wholesale-based competition across all regions of the country, (iv)&nbsp;whether wholesale regulation should continue to be relied upon to address concerns
regarding market concentration and the potential exercise of market power, and (v)&nbsp;whether the CRTC should consider any type of retail regulation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On November&nbsp;6, 2023, in Telecom Decision CRTC <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2023-358&nbsp;(the</FONT> Decision), the CRTC determined that
aggregated access to Bell Canada&#146;s FTTP facilities in Ontario and Qu&eacute;bec should be mandated on a temporary and expedited basis, and the CRTC set interim access rates. The CRTC may maintain, reverse or otherwise modify this new obligation
when it concludes its ongoing wholesale high-speed access review. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The imposition of an interim aggregated access to FTTP facilities obligation has
undermined Bell Canada&#146;s incentives to invest in next-generation wireline networks and is expected to adversely impact our financial results. Bell Canada announced its intention to reduce capital expenditures by over $1&nbsp;billion over 2024
and 2025 combined, including a minimum of $500&nbsp;million in 2024, and roll back fibre network expansion to a near-term target of 8.3&nbsp;million locations by the end of 2025 as a result of federal government policies and the Decision. Bell
Canada is also capping fibre speeds at 3 Gbps. In Q4&nbsp;2023, Bell Canada reduced its capital investment by $105&nbsp;million more than originally planned as a result of the Decision.

hackers, organized criminals, state-sponsored organizations and other parties. Information security attacks have grown in complexity, magnitude and frequency in recent years and the potential for damage is increasing. Information security attacks
may be perpetrated using a complex array of ever evolving and changing means including, without limitation, the use of stolen credentials, social engineering, computer viruses and malicious software, phishing and other attacks on network and
information systems. Information security attacks aim to achieve various malicious objectives including unauthorized access to, ransom/encryption of, and theft of, confidential, proprietary, sensitive or personal information, as&nbsp;well as

outsourcers and reliance on business partners, which may similarly be subject to information security threats, also expose us to risks as we have less immediate oversight over their IT domains. Furthermore, the introduction of 5G, cloud computing
and the proliferation of data services, including mobile TV, mobile commerce, mobile banking and IoT applications, as well as increased digitization and the use or misuse of emerging technologies such as AI, robotics and smart contracts leveraging
blockchain for digital certification, have significantly increased the threat surface of our networks and systems, resulting in higher complexity that needs to be carefully monitored and managed to minimize security threats. Failure to implement an
information security program that efficiently considers relationships and interactions with business partners, suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties across all methods of communication, including social media and cloud-based

This emphasizes the importance of developing and maintaining a comprehensive and inclusive human resources strategy and employee value proposition to adequately compete for talent and to identify and secure high-performing candidates for a broad
range of job functions, roles and responsibilities. In addition, an appropriately skilled and diversified pool of talent (as a result of hiring, insourcing and reskilling) is essential to support evolving business priorities in the context of an

potential. We further endeavour to establish programs and provide resources to support team members on a wide range of topics, including mental health services and support. However, failure to establish robust programs to further these aspirations
could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain team members. Failure to sufficiently address evolving employee expectations related to our culture and value proposition could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain team

customers and achieve our business and financial objectives. In addition, any such gaps could result in suboptimal management of our vendor base, increased costs and missed opportunities. Ongoing relationships must further be adequately managed in
order to address existing and new operational and compliance requirements. Some of our third-party suppliers and outsourcers are located in foreign countries, which increases the potential for a breakdown in supply due to the risks of operating in
foreign jurisdictions with different laws, geopolitical environments and cultures, as well as the potential for localized natural disasters. Concerns related to geopolitical events could put pressure on our supply chain and require increased focus
on supply chain diversification to support continuity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">We may have to select different third-party suppliers for equipment or other products and
services, or different outsourcers, in order to meet evolving internal company policies and guidelines as well as regulatory requirements. Should we decide, or be required by a governmental authority or otherwise, to terminate our relationship with
an existing supplier or outsourcer, this would decrease the number of available suppliers or outsourcers and could result in significant increased costs, as well as transitional, support, service, quality or continuity issues; delay our ability to
deploy new network and other technologies and offer new products and services; and adversely affect our business and financial results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The use of
third-party suppliers and the outsourcing of services generally involve transfer of risks, and we must take appropriate steps to ensure that our suppliers&#146; and outsourcers&#146; approach to risk management is aligned with our own standards in
order to maintain continuity of supply and brand strength. Increased focus on supplier risks in areas of security, data governance, responsible procurement and broader ESG factors requires increased attention given that supplier actions or omissions
could have significant impacts on our business, financial results, brand and reputation. Furthermore, cloud-based supplier models have continued to evolve and grow and, while they offer many potential benefits, cloud-based services can also change
the level or types of risks. Accordingly, our procurement and vendor management practices must also continue to evolve to fully take into account the potential risks of cloud-based services.

the failure of such initiatives, including of new technologies, to generate anticipated GHG emissions reductions, could negatively affect our ability to achieve our GHG emissions reduction targets. In addition, future corporate initiatives, such as

CGU or group of CGUs to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Both fair value less costs of disposal and value in use are based on
estimates of discounted future cash flows or other valuation methods. Cash flows are projected based on past experience, actual operating results and business plans, including any impact from changes in interest rates and inflation. When the
recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is less than its carrying value, the recoverable amount is determined for its identifiable assets and liabilities. The excess of the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs over the total of the
amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the recoverable amount of goodwill. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">An impairment charge is recognized in <I>Impairment of

of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we&nbsp;have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether
we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by
termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or
not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations. </P>

A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination </span></div></ix:continuation></ix:continuation><div style="height:67.5pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><span style="color:#0070c0;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">21</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:36pt;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><span><br/></span></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-364-12"><ix:continuation id="f-410-3" continuedAt="f-410-4"><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The identification of performance obligations within a contract and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations under long-term contracts requires judgment.

Going forward, our objective is to see our net debt leverage ratio decline over time to be in the range of <ix:nonFraction unitRef="number" contextRef="c-820" decimals="1" name="bce:NetDebtLeverageRatio" scale="0" id="f-2344">3.0</ix:nonFraction> times adjusted EBITDA. While currently in excess of this level, our net debt leverage ratio is still consistent with a strong balance sheet, ample financial flexibility and investment grade credit ratings. Additionally, given the correlation between adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio and the net debt leverage ratio, we are simplifying our internal targets to reflect the net debt leverage ratio only and will not report against adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense in the future. We believe that this ratio is of less relative importance to our investors, lenders and other stakeholders as a measure of the strength of our capital structure. </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">We believe that certain investors and analysts use our net debt leverage ratio as a measure of financial leverage and health of the company.</span></div><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="bce:DisclosureOfKeyInternalRatiosAndMetricsTableTextBlock" id="f-2345" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The following table provides a summary of our key ratios.</span><span style="color:#1c1b1a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div>

In particular, because of the nature of our consumer-facing business, we are exposed to class actions pursuant to which substantial monetary damages may be claimed. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties&#160;of the litigation process, we cannot predict the final outcome or timing of&#160;claims and legal proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, and based on information currently available and management&#8217;s assessment of the merits of the claims and legal proceedings pending at March&#160;7, 2024, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these claims and legal proceedings is unlikely to have a material and negative effect on our financial statements. We believe that we have strong defences and we intend to vigorously defend our positions.</span></div></ix:continuation><div id="i6fd78d459903467199ead94116d8501c_148"></div><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="ifrs-full:DisclosureOfRelatedPartyExplanatory" id="f-2932" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:7pt">

Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options.

Substantially all of our severance, acquisition and other costs, depreciation and amortization, finance costs and other (expense) income are managed on a corporate basis and, accordingly, are not reflected in segment results.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Substantially all of our operations and assets are located in Canada.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In 2022, we began modifying our internal and external reporting processes to align with organizational changes that were made to reflect an increasing strategic focus on multiproduct sales, the continually increasing technological convergence of our wireless and wireline telecommunications infrastructure and operations driven by the deployment of our Fifth Generation (5G) and fibre networks, and our digital transformation. These factors have made it increasingly difficult to distinguish between our wireless and wireline operations and resulted in changes in Q1 2023 to the financial information that is regularly provided to our chief operating decision maker to measure performance and allocate resources.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Effective with our Q1 2023 results, our previous Bell Wireless and Bell Wireline operating segments were combined to form a single reporting segment called Bell CTS. Bell Media remains a distinct reportable segment and is unaffected. Our results are therefore reported in two segments: Bell CTS and Bell Media. As a result of our reporting changes, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our Bell CTS segment provides a wide range of communication products and services to consumers, businesses and government customers across Canada. Wireless products and services include mobile data and voice plans and devices and are available nationally. Wireline products and services comprise data (including Internet access, Internet protocol television (IPTV), cloud-based services and business solutions), voice, and other communication services and products, which are available to our residential, small and medium-sized business and large enterprise customers primarily in Ontario, Qu&#233;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba, while satellite TV service and connectivity to business customers are available nationally across Canada. In addition, this segment includes our wholesale business, which buys and sells local telephone, long distance, data and other services from or to resellers and other carriers, as well as the results of operations of our national consumer electronics retailer, The Source (Bell) Electronics Inc. (The Source). Subsequent to year end, Bell Canada announced a strategic partnership with Best Buy Canada to operate 165 The Source consumer electronics retail stores in Canada, which will be rebranded as Best Buy Express and offer the latest in consumer electronics from Best Buy along with exclusive telecommunications services from Bell. In addition, Bell will wind down The Source head office and back office operations, as well as close 107 The Source stores. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our Bell Media segment provides conventional TV, specialty TV, pay TV, streaming services, digital media services, radio broadcasting services and OOH and advanced advertising services to customers nationally across Canada.</span></div><div>

The impairment charges were the result of a reduction in advertising demand in the industry resulting from economic uncertainties and unfavourable impacts to market-based valuation assumptions. These charges included $41&#160;million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences and brands, and $45&#160;million to finite-life intangible assets for program and feature film rights. The impairment was determined by comparing the carrying value of the CGUs to their fair value less cost of disposal. We estimated the fair value of the CGUs using both discounted cash flows and market-based valuation models, which include five-year cash flow projections derived from business plans reviewed by senior management for the period of October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2028, using a discount rate of 9.5% and a perpetuity growth rate of 0.0%.

These charges included $94&#160;million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences, and $53&#160;million to finite-life intangible assets for program and feature film rights.

After impairments, the carrying value of our impacted CGUs was $109&#160;million. In previous years' impairment analysis, the company's French Pay and French TV channels were tested for recoverability as one French CGU. In 2022, the French Pay channels were grouped with English Pay channels to form one CGU as a result of Bell Media launching a single bilingual premium pay product. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">There was no impairment of Bell Media goodwill.

In 2023 and 2022, our net debt leverage ratio target range was 2.0 to 2.5 times adjusted EBITDA and our adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio target was greater than 7.5 times. At December&#160;31,&#160;2023, we had exceeded the limit of our internal net debt leverage ratio target range by 0.98 and exceeded our adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio target by 0.56. Going forward, our objective is to see our net debt leverage ratio decline over time to be in the range of 3.0 times adjusted EBITDA. While currently in excess of this level, our net debt leverage ratio is still consistent with a strong balance sheet, ample financial flexibility and investment grade credit ratings. Additionally, given the correlation between adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio and the net debt leverage ratio, we are simplifying our internal targets to reflect the net debt leverage ratio only and will not report against adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense in the future. We believe that this ratio is of less relative importance to our investors, lenders and other stakeholders as a measure of the strength of our capital structure. </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">We believe that certain investors and analysts use our net debt leverage ratio as a measure of financial leverage and health of the company.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The following table provides a summary of our key ratios.</span><span style="color:#1c1b1a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div>

On August&#160;15, 2019, the CRTC further reduced the wholesale rates that Internet resellers pay to access network infrastructure built by facilities-based providers like Bell Canada, with retroactive effect back to March&#160;2016. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The August&#160;2019 decision was stayed, first by the Federal Court of Appeal and then by the CRTC, with the result that it never came into effect. In response to review and vary applications filed by each of Bell Canada, five major cable carriers (Cogeco Communications&#160;Inc., Bragg&#160;Communications&#160;Inc. (Eastlink), Rogers Communications Canada&#160;Inc., Shaw Communications&#160;Inc. and Videotron Lt&#233;e) and Telus Communications&#160;Inc., the CRTC issued Decision 2021-182&#160;on May&#160;27, 2021, which mostly reinstated the rates prevailing prior to August&#160;2019 with some reductions to the Bell Canada rates with retroactive effect to March&#160;2016. As a result, in Q2&#160;2021, we recorded a reduction in revenue of $44&#160;million in our income statements. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">While there remains a requirement to refund monies to third-party Internet resellers, the establishment of final wholesale rates that are similar to those prevailing since&#160;2019 reduces the impact of the CRTC&#8217;s long-running review of wholesale Internet rates. The largest reseller, TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (TekSavvy), obtained leave to appeal the CRTC&#8217;s decision of May 27, 2021 before the Federal Court of Appeal. Oral hearings are now complete and we are awaiting a decision of the court. The decision was also challenged in three petitions brought by TekSavvy, the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. and National Capital Freenet before Cabinet, but on May 26, 2022, Cabinet announced it would not alter the decision.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In the ordinary course of business, we become involved in various claims and legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. In particular, because of the nature of our consumer-facing business, we are exposed to class actions pursuant to which substantial monetary damages may be claimed. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties&#160;of the litigation process, we cannot predict the final outcome or timing of&#160;claims and legal proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, and based on information currently available and management&#8217;s assessment of the merits of the claims and legal proceedings pending at March&#160;7, 2024, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these claims and legal proceedings is unlikely to have a material and negative effect on our financial statements. We believe that we have strong defences and we intend to vigorously defend our positions.</span></div><span></span>

We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable prices at which we sell products separately without a service contract and prices for non-bundled service offers with the same range of services, adjusted for market conditions and other factors, as appropriate.

A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. We recognize lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for all lease agreements, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, which are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Consideration in a contract is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative stand-alone value basis.

Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect the remeasurement of related lease liabilities. If we obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects the exercise of a purchase option, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset.

For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. Also, for those purposes the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments that are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16A-16B of IAS 32, instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments. As an exception, an instrument that meets the definition of a financial liability is classified as an equity instrument if it has all the features and meets the conditions in paragraphs 16A-16B or paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32.

For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. Also, for those purposes the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments that are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16A-16B of IAS 32, instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments. As an exception, an instrument that meets the definition of a financial liability is classified as an equity instrument if it has all the features and meets the conditions in paragraphs 16A-16B or paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32.

We recognize revenue when control of a product or service is transferred to a customer. When our right to consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the products and services transferred to date, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For bundled arrangements, we account for individual products and services when they are separately identifiable and the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other readily available resources. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each product or service included in the contract with the customer based on its stand-alone selling price. We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable prices at which we sell products separately without a service contract and prices for non-bundled service offers with the same range of services, adjusted for market conditions and other factors, as appropriate. When similar products &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;and services are not sold separately, we use the expected cost plus margin approach to determine stand-alone selling prices. Products and services purchased by a customer in excess of those included in the bundled arrangement are accounted for separately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We may enter into arrangements with subcontractors and others who provide services to our customers. When we act as the principal in these arrangements, we recognize revenues based on the amounts billed to our customers. Otherwise, we recognize the net amount that we retain as revenues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A contract asset is recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position (statements of financial position) when our right to consideration from the transfer of products or services to a customer is conditional on our obligation to transfer other products or services. Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when our right to consideration becomes conditional only as to the passage of time. A contract liability is recognized in the statements of financial position when we receive consideration in advance of the transfer of products or services to the customer. Contract assets and liabilities relating to the same contract are presented on a net basis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, principally comprised of sales commissions, and prepaid contract fulfillment costs are included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Contract costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; in the statements of financial position, except where the amortization period is one year or less, in which case costs of obtaining a contract are immediately expensed.

We recognize service revenues over time, as the services are provided. Revenues on certain long-term contracts are recognized using output methods based on products delivered, performance completed to date, time elapsed or milestones met. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For wireless products and services that are sold separately, customers usually pay in full at the time of sale for products and on a monthly basis for services. For wireless products and services sold in bundled arrangements, including device financing plans, customers pay monthly over a contract term of up to 24 months for residential customers and up to 36 months for business customers. If they include a significant financing component, device financing plan receivables are discounted at market rates and interest revenue is accreted over the contractual repayment period. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For wireline customers, products are usually paid in full at the time of sale.

A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. We recognize lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for all lease agreements, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, which are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Consideration in a contract is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative stand-alone value basis. We generally account for lease components and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We apply a single incremental borrowing rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#4f81bd;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.51pt"&gt;fixed (and in-substance fixed) lease payments, less any lease incentives &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#4f81bd;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.51pt"&gt;variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#4f81bd;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.51pt"&gt;payments expected under residual value guarantees and payments relating to purchase options and renewal option periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised (or periods subject to termination options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured, with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets, when there is a change in variable lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or when we change our assessment of whether purchase, renewal or termination options will be exercised. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, and are comprised of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liabilities, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis and reduced by impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect the remeasurement of related lease liabilities. If we obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects the exercise of a purchase option, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The related payments are expensed in operating costs in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;IAS 17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Prior to 2019, under IAS 17, leases of property, plant and equipment were recognized as finance leases when we obtained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying assets. At the inception of the lease, we recorded an asset together with a corresponding long-term lease liability, at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum future lease payments, excluding non-lease components.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00518d;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS (AROs)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We initially measure and record AROs at management&#x2019;s best estimate using a present value methodology, adjusted subsequently for any changes in the timing or amount of cash flows and changes in discount rates. We capitalize asset retirement costs as part of the related assets and amortize them into earnings over time. We also increase the ARO and record a corresponding amount in interest expense to reflect the passage of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

Property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets are tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances, assessed at each reporting period, indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets other than goodwill are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Impairment losses are recognized and measured as the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their recoverable amount. An asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Previously recognized impairment losses, other than those attributable to goodwill, are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date and, if the asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount has increased, all or a portion of the impairment is reversed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00518d;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT TESTING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We perform an annual test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter for each of our cash-generating units (CGUs) or groups of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated, and whenever there is an indication that goodwill might be impaired. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of a CGU or group of CGUs to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Both fair value less costs of disposal and value in use are based on estimates of discounted future cash &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;flows or other valuation methods. Cash flows are projected based on past experience, actual operating results and business plans, including any impact from changes in interest rates and inflation. When the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is less than its carrying value, the recoverable amount is determined for its identifiable assets and liabilities. The excess of the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs over the total of the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the recoverable amount of goodwill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;An impairment charge is recognized in the income statements for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its recoverable amount.

The rate is set by reference to market yields of long-term, high-quality corporate fixed income investments at the beginning of each fiscal year. Significant judgment is required when setting the criteria for fixed income investments to be included in the population from which the yield curve is derived. The most significant criteria considered for the selection of investments include the size of the issue and credit quality, along with the identification of outliers, which are excluded. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;INCOME TAXES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The calculation of income taxes requires judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our tax filings are also subject to audits, the outcome of which could change the amount of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Management judgment is used to determine the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized. In particular, judgment is required when assessing the timing of the reversal of temporary differences to which future income tax rates are applied. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;LEASES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The application of IFRS 16 requires us to make judgments that affect the measurement of right-of-use assets and liabilities. A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The identification of performance obligations within a contract and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations under long-term contracts requires judgment. Additionally, the determination of costs to obtain a contract, including the identification of incremental costs, also requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;CGUs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The determination of CGUs or groups of CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;CONTINGENCIES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The determination of whether a loss is probable from claims and legal proceedings and whether an outflow of resources is likely requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;

We recognize revenue when control of a product or service is transferred to a customer. When our right to consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the products and services transferred to date, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For bundled arrangements, we account for individual products and services when they are separately identifiable and the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other readily available resources. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each product or service included in the contract with the customer based on its stand-alone selling price. We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable prices at which we sell products separately without a service contract and prices for non-bundled service offers with the same range of services, adjusted for market conditions and other factors, as appropriate. When similar products &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;and services are not sold separately, we use the expected cost plus margin approach to determine stand-alone selling prices. Products and services purchased by a customer in excess of those included in the bundled arrangement are accounted for separately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We may enter into arrangements with subcontractors and others who provide services to our customers. When we act as the principal in these arrangements, we recognize revenues based on the amounts billed to our customers. Otherwise, we recognize the net amount that we retain as revenues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A contract asset is recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position (statements of financial position) when our right to consideration from the transfer of products or services to a customer is conditional on our obligation to transfer other products or services. Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when our right to consideration becomes conditional only as to the passage of time. A contract liability is recognized in the statements of financial position when we receive consideration in advance of the transfer of products or services to the customer. Contract assets and liabilities relating to the same contract are presented on a net basis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, principally comprised of sales commissions, and prepaid contract fulfillment costs are included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Contract costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; in the statements of financial position, except where the amortization period is one year or less, in which case costs of obtaining a contract are immediately expensed.

Lease contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may include purchase, renewal or termination options. Leases are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We adopted IFRS 16 - Leases as of January 1, 2019. Certain finance leases entered into prior to 2019 were initially measured under IAS 17 - Leases, as permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 16. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;IFRS 16&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We assess whether a contract contains a lease at inception of the contract. A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. We recognize lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for all lease agreements, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, which are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Consideration in a contract is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative stand-alone value basis. We generally account for lease components and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We apply a single incremental borrowing rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#4f81bd;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.51pt"&gt;fixed (and in-substance fixed) lease payments, less any lease incentives &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#4f81bd;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.51pt"&gt;variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#4f81bd;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.51pt"&gt;payments expected under residual value guarantees and payments relating to purchase options and renewal option periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised (or periods subject to termination options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured, with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets, when there is a change in variable lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or when we change our assessment of whether purchase, renewal or termination options will be exercised. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, and are comprised of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liabilities, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis and reduced by impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect the remeasurement of related lease liabilities. If we obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects the exercise of a purchase option, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The related payments are expensed in operating costs in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;IAS 17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Prior to 2019, under IAS 17, leases of property, plant and equipment were recognized as finance leases when we obtained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying assets.

Property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets are tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances, assessed at each reporting period, indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets other than goodwill are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Impairment losses are recognized and measured as the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their recoverable amount. An asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Previously recognized impairment losses, other than those attributable to goodwill, are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date and, if the asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount has increased, all or a portion of the impairment is reversed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00518d;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT TESTING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We perform an annual test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter for each of our cash-generating units (CGUs) or groups of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated, and whenever there is an indication that goodwill might be impaired. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of a CGU or group of CGUs to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Both fair value less costs of disposal and value in use are based on estimates of discounted future cash &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;flows or other valuation methods. Cash flows are projected based on past experience, actual operating results and business plans, including any impact from changes in interest rates and inflation. When the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is less than its carrying value, the recoverable amount is determined for its identifiable assets and liabilities. The excess of the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs over the total of the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the recoverable amount of goodwill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;An impairment charge is recognized in the income statements for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its recoverable amount.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable.

Fair values are estimated by reference to published price quotations or by using other valuation techniques that may include inputs that are not based on observable market data, such as discounted cash flows and earnings multiples. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;CONTINGENCIES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the ordinary course of business, we become involved in various claims and legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. Pending claims and legal proceedings represent a potential cost to our business. We estimate the amount of a loss by analyzing potential outcomes and assuming various litigation and settlement strategies, based on information that is available at the time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;ONEROUS CONTRACTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the unavoidable costs of meeting our obligations under a contract exceed the expected benefits to be received under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of completing the contract. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00518d;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;JUDGMENTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The determination of the discount rate used to value our post-employment benefit obligations requires judgment. The rate is set by reference to market yields of long-term, high-quality corporate fixed income investments at the beginning of each fiscal year. Significant judgment is required when setting the criteria for fixed income investments to be included in the population from which the yield curve is derived. The most significant criteria considered for the selection of investments include the size of the issue and credit quality, along with the identification of outliers, which are excluded. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;INCOME TAXES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The calculation of income taxes requires judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our tax filings are also subject to audits, the outcome of which could change the amount of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Management judgment is used to determine the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized. In particular, judgment is required when assessing the timing of the reversal of temporary differences to which future income tax rates are applied. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;LEASES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The application of IFRS 16 requires us to make judgments that affect the measurement of right-of-use assets and liabilities. A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The identification of performance obligations within a contract and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations under long-term contracts requires judgment. Additionally, the determination of costs to obtain a contract, including the identification of incremental costs, also requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;CGUs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The determination of CGUs or groups of CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#818383;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;CONTINGENCIES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The determination of whether a loss is probable from claims and legal proceedings and whether an outflow of resources is likely requires judgment.</ifrs-full:DisclosureOfAccountingJudgementsAndEstimatesExplanatory>

Our segments reflect how we manage our business and how we classify our operations for planning and measuring performance. Accordingly, we operate and manage our segments as strategic business units organized by products and services. Segments negotiate sales with each other as if they were unrelated parties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We measure the performance of each segment based on adjusted EBITDA, which is equal to operating revenues less operating costs for the segment. Substantially all of our severance, acquisition and other costs, depreciation and amortization, finance costs and other (expense) income are managed on a corporate basis and, accordingly, are not reflected in segment results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Substantially all of our operations and assets are located in Canada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In 2022, we began modifying our internal and external reporting processes to align with organizational changes that were made to reflect an increasing strategic focus on multiproduct sales, the continually increasing technological convergence of our wireless and wireline telecommunications infrastructure and operations driven by the deployment of our Fifth Generation (5G) and fibre networks, and our digital transformation. These factors have made it increasingly difficult to distinguish between our wireless and wireline operations and resulted in changes in Q1 2023 to the financial information that is regularly provided to our chief operating decision maker to measure performance and allocate resources.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Effective with our Q1 2023 results, our previous Bell Wireless and Bell Wireline operating segments were combined to form a single reporting segment called Bell CTS. Bell Media remains a distinct reportable segment and is unaffected. Our results are therefore reported in two segments: Bell CTS and Bell Media. As a result of our reporting changes, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Our Bell CTS segment provides a wide range of communication products and services to consumers, businesses and government customers across Canada. Wireless products and services include mobile data and voice plans and devices and are available nationally. Wireline products and services comprise data (including Internet access, Internet protocol television (IPTV), cloud-based services and business solutions), voice, and other communication services and products, which are available to our residential, small and medium-sized business and large enterprise customers primarily in Ontario, Qu&#xe9;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba, while satellite TV service and connectivity to business customers are available nationally across Canada. In addition, this segment includes our wholesale business, which buys and sells local telephone, long distance, data and other services from or to resellers and other carriers, as well as the results of operations of our national consumer electronics retailer, The Source (Bell) Electronics Inc. (The Source). Subsequent to year end, Bell Canada announced a strategic partnership with Best Buy Canada to operate 165 The Source consumer electronics retail stores in Canada, which will be rebranded as Best Buy Express and offer the latest in consumer electronics from Best Buy along with exclusive telecommunications services from Bell. In addition, Bell will wind down The Source head office and back office operations, as well as close 107 The Source stores. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Our Bell Media segment provides conventional TV, specialty TV, pay TV, streaming services, digital media services, radio broadcasting services and OOH and advanced advertising services to customers nationally across Canada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

The impairment charges were the result of a reduction in advertising demand in the industry resulting from economic uncertainties and unfavourable impacts to market-based valuation assumptions. These charges included $41&#160;million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences and brands, and $45&#160;million to finite-life intangible assets for program and feature film rights. The impairment was determined by comparing the carrying value of the CGUs to their fair value less cost of disposal. We estimated the fair value of the CGUs using both discounted cash flows and market-based valuation models, which include five-year cash flow projections derived from business plans reviewed by senior management for the period of October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2028, using a discount rate of 9.5% and a perpetuity growth rate of 0.0%. After impairments, the carrying value of our impacted CGU was $62&#160;million.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"&gt;There was no impairment of Bell Media goodwill.

The impairment charges were the result of a reduction in advertising demand in the industry resulting from economic uncertainties and unfavourable impacts to assumptions for discount rates. These charges included $94&#160;million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences, and $53&#160;million to finite-life intangible assets for program and feature film rights. The impairment was determined by comparing the carrying value of the CGUs to their fair value less cost of disposal. We estimated the fair value of the CGUs using the discounted cash flow valuation models, which include five-year cash flow projections derived from business plans reviewed by senior management for the period of October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2027, using a discount rate of 10.3% and a perpetuity growth rate of 0.5%. After impairments, the carrying value of our impacted CGUs was $109&#160;million. In previous years' impairment analysis, the company's French Pay and French TV channels were tested for recoverability as one French CGU. In 2022, the French Pay channels were grouped with English Pay channels to form one CGU as a result of Bell Media launching a single bilingual premium pay product. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;There was no impairment of Bell Media goodwill.

Changes in these factors could cause actual future contributions to differ from our current estimates and could require us to increase contributions to our post-employment benefit plans in the future, which could have a negative effect on our liquidity and financial performance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We contribute to the DC pension plans as employees provide service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The following table shows the amounts we contributed to the DB and DC pension plans and the payments made to beneficiaries under OPEB plans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:5pt"&gt;

In 2023 and 2022, our net debt leverage ratio target range was 2.0 to 2.5 times adjusted EBITDA and our adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio target was greater than 7.5 times. At December&#160;31,&#160;2023, we had exceeded the limit of our internal net debt leverage ratio target range by 0.98 and exceeded our adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio target by 0.56. Going forward, our objective is to see our net debt leverage ratio decline over time to be in the range of 3.0 times adjusted EBITDA. While currently in excess of this level, our net debt leverage ratio is still consistent with a strong balance sheet, ample financial flexibility and investment grade credit ratings. Additionally, given the correlation between adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense ratio and the net debt leverage ratio, we are simplifying our internal targets to reflect the net debt leverage ratio only and will not report against adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net interest expense in the future. We believe that this ratio is of less relative importance to our investors, lenders and other stakeholders as a measure of the strength of our capital structure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"&gt;We believe that certain investors and analysts use our net debt leverage ratio as a measure of financial leverage and health of the company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:5pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The following table provides a summary of our key ratios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#1c1b1a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

The transaction is valued at $410&#160;million, subject to certain adjustments, and is expected to close in the first half of 2024, subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions. The acquisition of the Canadian OOH media business of OUTFRONT Media Inc. is expected to support Bell Media's digital media strategy and to deliver impactful, multi-channel marketing solutions coast-to-coast. The results of the Canadian OOH business of OUTFRONT Media Inc. will be included in our Bell Media segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;

On August&#160;15, 2019, the CRTC further reduced the wholesale rates that Internet resellers pay to access network infrastructure built by facilities-based providers like Bell Canada, with retroactive effect back to March&#160;2016. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The August&#160;2019 decision was stayed, first by the Federal Court of Appeal and then by the CRTC, with the result that it never came into effect. In response to review and vary applications filed by each of Bell Canada, five major cable carriers (Cogeco Communications&#160;Inc., Bragg&#160;Communications&#160;Inc. (Eastlink), Rogers Communications Canada&#160;Inc., Shaw Communications&#160;Inc. and Videotron Lt&#xe9;e) and Telus Communications&#160;Inc., the CRTC issued Decision 2021-182&#160;on May&#160;27, 2021, which mostly reinstated the rates prevailing prior to August&#160;2019 with some reductions to the Bell Canada rates with retroactive effect to March&#160;2016. As a result, in Q2&#160;2021, we recorded a reduction in revenue of $44&#160;million in our income statements. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;While there remains a requirement to refund monies to third-party Internet resellers, the establishment of final wholesale rates that are similar to those prevailing since&#160;2019 reduces the impact of the CRTC&#x2019;s long-running review of wholesale Internet rates. The largest reseller, TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (TekSavvy), obtained leave to appeal the CRTC&#x2019;s decision of May 27, 2021 before the Federal Court of Appeal. Oral hearings are now complete and we are awaiting a decision of the court. The decision was also challenged in three petitions brought by TekSavvy, the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. and National Capital Freenet before Cabinet, but on May 26, 2022, Cabinet announced it would not alter the decision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the ordinary course of business, we become involved in various claims and legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. In particular, because of the nature of our consumer-facing business, we are exposed to class actions pursuant to which substantial monetary damages may be claimed. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties&#160;of the litigation process, we cannot predict the final outcome or timing of&#160;claims and legal proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, and based on information currently available and management&#x2019;s assessment of the merits of the claims and legal proceedings pending at March&#160;7, 2024, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these claims and legal proceedings is unlikely to have a material and negative effect on our financial statements. We believe that we have strong defences and we intend to vigorously defend our positions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</ifrs-full:DisclosureOfCommitmentsAndContingentLiabilitiesExplanatory>
