(b) The Canadian mills have a liability for unspent government grants which are required to be used to partially finance greenhouse gas emission reduction and innovation capital projects. The grants are recorded in “Cash and cash equivalents” in the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets, however, they are considered restricted as they are repayable if the mills do not spend the funds on approved projects.
