1 | Other partners’ equity is gross of $432 (December 31, 2025 – $411) promissory notes issued to the joint ventures by the arm’s-length parties in the real estate redevelopment projects in British Columbia; in the event of dissolution or other wind-up of the partnerships, the other partner’s equity will first be reduced by any amounts of the promissory notes outstanding when determining the equity of the joint ventures. The primary intended method of repayment of the promissory notes is through contribution of in-kind development costs, but may optionally include cash payments. |
2 | The equity amounts recorded by the real estate joint ventures differ from those recorded by us by the amount of the deferred gains on our real estate contributed and the valuation provision we have recorded in excess of that recorded by the real estate joint ventures. |

As at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we held an equity interest in Miovision Technologies Incorporated, a Canadian incorporated entity that is complementary to, and is viewed to grow, our existing Internet of Things business; our judgment is that we obtained significant influence over the associate when we acquired our initial equity interest.

Our aggregate interests in other individually immaterial associates as at June 30, 2026, totalled $36 million (December 31, 2025 – $29 million).
