Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these temporary differences and losses, as well as foreign tax credits of $4.2 (2023 - $3.9), because they are restricted to certain jurisdictions and cannot be used elsewhere in the Company at this time. In 2024, Canada enacted the Pillar Two global minimum tax model rules (the "Pillar Two" rules) of the OECD's Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("BEPS"), effective for reporting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2024. These rules require a top-up tax to be paid in jurisdictions where the effective tax rate of the Company is less than 15%. The Company has completed its assessment of the Pillar Two rules and determined that most entities within the Company have an effective tax rate that exceeds 15% or meet the transitional safe harbor rules, such that no top-up tax would apply. During 2024, the current tax expense arising from the Pillar Two rules was $2.5. The Company will continue to monitor new developments from the legislative impacts, as well as any tax legislative changes in jurisdictions where the Company operates.
