  1. Enbridge System includes Canadian mainline deliveries in Western Canada and to the Lakehead System at the U.S. border as well as Line 8 and Line 9 in Eastern Canada.
  2. Volumes are for the Athabasca mainline and Waupisoo Pipeline and do not include laterals on the Athabasca System.
  3. Gas Distribution and Services volumes and the number of active customers are derived from the aggregate system supply and direct purchase gas supply arrangements.
  4. Degree-day deficiency is a measure of coldness, which is indicative of volumetric requirements of natural gas utilized for heating purposes. It is calculated by accumulating for each day in the period the total number of degrees each day by which the daily mean temperature falls below 18 degrees Celsius. The figures given are those accumulated in the Greater Toronto Area.
