Financial Instruments [Abstract]  
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Disclosures relating to the nature and extent of the Company’s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, as well as risks arising from commodity prices, and how the Company manages those risks, are included in the section entitled “Financial risk management” of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position as at January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019. Accordingly, these disclosures are incorporated into these consolidated financial statements by cross-reference.

(a)Financial instruments - carrying amounts and fair values:
The carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities included in the consolidated statements of financial position are as follows:

(1) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities include balances payable of $27.6 million (December 29, 2019 - $39.6 million) under supply-chain financing arrangements (reverse factoring) with a financial institution, whereby receivables due from the Company to certain suppliers can be collected by the suppliers from a financial institution before their original due date. These balances are classified as accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the related payments as cash flows from operating activities, given the principal business purpose of the arrangement is to provide funding to the supplier and not the Company, the arrangement does not significantly extend the payment terms beyond the normal terms agreed with other suppliers, and no additional deferral or special guarantees to secure the payments are included in the arrangement.
(2) The fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates was $221.3 million as at January 3, 2021 (December 29, 2019 - $206.4 million).

Short-term financial assets and liabilities
The Company has determined that the fair value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates their respective carrying amounts as at the reporting dates due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, as they bear variable interest-rates or because the terms and conditions are comparable to current market terms and conditions for similar items.

Non-current assets and long-term debt bearing interest at variable rates
The fair values of the long-term non-trade receivables included in other non-current assets and the Company’s long-term debt bearing interest at variable rates also approximate their respective carrying amounts because the interest rates applied to measure their carrying amounts approximate current market interest rates.
14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued):

(a)Financial instruments - carrying amounts and fair values (continued):
Long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates
The fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates is determined using the discounted future cash flows method and at discount rates based on yield to maturities for similar issuances. The fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates was measured using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates, the Company takes into account its own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties.

Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments are designated as effective hedging instruments and consist of foreign exchange and commodity forward, option, and swap contracts, as well as floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to fix the variable interest rates on a designated portion of borrowings under the term loan and unsecured notes. The fair value of the forward contracts is measured using a generally accepted valuation technique which is the discounted value of the difference between the contract’s value at maturity based on the rate set out in the contract and the contract’s value at maturity based on the rate that the counterparty would use if it were to renegotiate the same contract terms at the measurement date under current conditions. The fair value of the option contracts is measured using option pricing models that utilize a variety of inputs that are a combination of quoted prices and market-corroborated inputs, including volatility estimates and option adjusted credit spreads. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined based on market data, by measuring the difference between the fixed contracted rate and the forward curve for the applicable floating interest rates.

The Company also has a total return swap (“TRS”) outstanding that is intended to reduce the variability of net earnings associated with deferred share units, which are settled in cash. The TRS is not designated as a hedging instrument and, therefore, the fair value adjustment at the end of each reporting period is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. The fair value of the TRS is measured by reference to the market price of the Company’s common shares, at each reporting date. The TRS has a one-year term, may be extended annually, and the contract allows for early termination at the option of the Company. As at January 3, 2021, the notional amount of TRS outstanding was 284,663 shares (December 29, 2019 - 216,727 shares) and the carrying amount and fair value included in prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets was $0.4 million (December 29, 2019 - $0.3 million included in prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets).

Derivative financial instruments were measured using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments the Company takes into account its own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties.

(b)Derivative financial instruments - hedge accounting:
During fiscal 2020 and 2019, the Company entered into foreign exchange and commodity forward, option, and swap contracts in order to minimize the exposure of forecasted cash inflows and outflows in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and to manage its exposure to movements in commodity prices, as well as floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to fix the variable interest rates on a designated portion of borrowings under the term loan and unsecured notes.
The forward foreign exchange contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting. The forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding as at January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019 consisted primarily of contracts to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in Canadian dollars, Euros, Australian dollars, Pounds sterling, and Mexican pesos against the U.S. dollar.
The commodity forward, option, and swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting. The commodity contracts outstanding as at January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019 consisted primarily of forward, collar, and swap contracts to reduce the exposure to movements in commodity prices.
The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting. The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps contracts outstanding as at January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019 served to fix the variable interest rates on the designated interest payments of a portion of the Company's long-term debt.

During fiscal 2020, the Company determined that it no longer met the criteria for hedge accounting for certain commodity forward, option, and swap contracts and certain forward foreign exchange contracts (collectively the "hedging instruments") as the commodity purchases and foreign currency sales which the hedging instruments were respectively hedging, were no longer expected to occur due to economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in the fair value of such commodity forward, option, and swap contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts resulted in a net loss of $9.0 million, which were transferred out of accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized immediately in net earnings during fiscal 2020.

The change in the time value element of option and swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges to reduce the exposure in movements of commodity prices was not significant for the years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019. The change in the forward element of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges to reduce foreign currency risk was not significant for the years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019.

Approximately $2.1 million of net losses presented in accumulated other comprehensive income as at January 3, 2021 are expected to be reclassified to inventory or net earnings within the next twelve months.
