Basis Of Preparation [Abstract] |
Basis of Preparation | NOTE 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (a) Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2019. (b) Basis of Measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis and are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars. (c) Use of Estimates and Judgments The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation of anticipated future events involves uncertainty and, consequently, the estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as future events unfold, more experience is acquired, or the Corporation’s operating environment changes. The Corporation reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Adjustments that result from a change in estimate are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in Note 3(d), (g), (i), (j) and (s).
