11. Financial risk management

The Corporation’s risk management process, oversight and techniques are the same as those described in the Corporation’s 2023 annual consolidated financial statements.

The fair value measurement of a financial instrument or derivative contract is included in one of three levels as follows:

  • Level I: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level II: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

  • Level III: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

The Corporation is required to recognize and disclose the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are not risk management swaps or options or loans and borrowings are all classified as Level I under the fair value hierarchy as they are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

The fair value of the loans and borrowings are classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy as the fair values are based on observable market data. The fair value of loans and borrowings at March 31, 2024 is $79,969 (December 31, 2023 - $80,255).

(a) Commodity risk management swaps

The fair values of the power and natural gas commodity swaps are classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy as the fair values are based on observable market data. The Corporation determined the fair value of the swaps by applying the market approach using market settled forward prices as reported by the Natural Gas Exchange for forward contracts of comparable term at the reporting date.
