Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as ‘‘anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “intend”, “likely”, “plan”, “project”, “target” and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or statements included or incorporated by reference in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following: expected earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); expected earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows; expected performance of the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Midstream, Gas Distribution, Renewable Power Generation and Transmission, and Energy Services businesses; financial strength and flexibility; expectations on sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected costs related to announced projects and projects under construction; expected in-service dates for announced projects and projects under construction;
expected capital expenditures; expected equity funding requirements for our commercially secured growth program; expected future growth and expansion opportunities;
expectations about our joint venture partners’ ability to complete and finance projects under construction; expected closing of acquisitions and dispositions and expected timing thereof;
estimated future dividends; expected future actions of regulators and related court proceedings; expected costs related to leak remediation and potential insurance recoveries; expectations regarding commodity prices; supply forecasts; expectations regarding the impact of the stock-for-stock merger transaction completed on February 27, 2017 between Enbridge and Spectra Energy Corp (the Merger Transaction) including our combined scale, financial flexibility, growth program, future business prospects and performance; United States Line 3 Replacement Program (U.S. L3R Program); the expected in-service date of the Canadian Line 3 Replacement Program (Canadian L3R Program); Line 5 related matters; Mainline System contracting; expected impact of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) policy on treatment of income taxes; the transactions undertaken to simplify our corporate structure; our dividend payout policy; dividend growth and dividend payout expectation; expectations on impact of our hedging program; and expectations resulting from the successful execution of our 2018-2020 Strategic Plan.
Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions about the following: the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL) and renewable energy; prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL and renewable energy; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; availability and price of labor and construction materials; operational reliability; customer and regulatory approvals; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects; anticipated in-service dates; weather; the timing and closing of dispositions; the realization of anticipated benefits and synergies of the Merger Transaction; governmental legislation; acquisitions and the timing thereof; the success of integration plans; impact of the dividend policy on our future cash flows; credit ratings; capital project funding; expected EBITDA; expected earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows and estimated future dividends. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL and renewable energy, and the prices of these commodities, are material to and underlie all forward-looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for our services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which we operate and may impact levels of demand for our services and cost of inputs, and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements. Due to the interdependencies and correlation of these macroeconomic factors, the
4
impact of any one assumption on a forward-looking statement cannot be determined with certainty,
particularly with respect to the impact of the Merger Transaction on us,
expected EBITDA, expected earnings/(loss), expected earnings/(loss) per share, or estimated future dividends. The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements regarding announced projects and projects under construction, including estimated completion dates and expected capital expenditures, include the following: the availability and price of labor and construction materials; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labor and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; the impact of weather and customer, government and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the realization of anticipated benefits and synergies of the Merger Transaction, operating performance, regulatory parameters, changes in regulations applicable to our business, dispositions, the transactions undertaken to simplify our corporate structure, our dividend policy, project approval and support, renewals of rights-of-way, weather, economic and competitive conditions, public opinion, changes in tax laws and tax rates, changes in trade agreements, exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices,
political decisions and supply of and demand for commodities,
including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q
and in our other filings with Canadian and United States securities regulators. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and our future course of action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Enbridge Inc. assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q
or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. ("we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with our audited updated consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended
December 31, 2018
. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in our audited updated consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, except for the adoption of new standards
(Note 2)
. Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Our operations and earnings for interim periods can be affected by seasonal fluctuations within the gas distribution utility businesses, as well as other factors such as the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and may not be indicative of annual results.
2.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS
Cloud Computing Arrangements
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-15 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued to provide guidance on the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The ASU specifies that an entity would apply Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-40, Internal-use software, to determine which implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract should be capitalized and which should be expensed. The amendments in the update also require that the capitalized costs be amortized on a straight-line basis generally over the term of the arrangement and presented in the same income statement line as fees paid for the hosting service, in addition to specifying that the capitalized costs must be presented on the same balance sheet line as the prepayment of fees related to the hosting arrangement. The ASU requires similar consistency in classifications from a cash flow statement perspective. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12 on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard was issued with the objective of better aligning a company’s risk management activities and the resulting hedge accounting reflected in the financial statements. The amendments allow cash flow hedging of contractually specified components in financial and non-financial items. As a result of the new standard, hedge ineffectiveness will no longer be measured or recorded, and hedging instruments’ fair value changes will be recorded in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The adoption of this accounting update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
11
Amending the Amortization Period for Certain Callable Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-08 on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard was issued with the intent of shortening the amortization period to the earliest call date for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The adoption of this accounting update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recognition of Leases
Effective January 1, 2019 we adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach.
We recognize an arrangement as a lease when a customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an asset, as well as the right to direct the use of the asset. We recognize right-of-use (ROU) assets and the related lease liabilities on the statement of financial position for operating lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or longer. We do not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components of our lessee contracts and account for both components as a single lease component. We combine lease and non-lease components within a contract for operating lessor leases when certain conditions are met. ROU assets are assessed for impairment using the same approach as is applied for other long-lived assets, as described under the Impairment section of the Significant Accounting Policies Note 2 in the annual consolidated financial statements.
Lease liabilities and ROU assets require the use of judgment and estimates, which are applied in determining the term of a lease, appropriate discount rates, whether an arrangement contains a lease, whether there are any indicators of impairment for ROU assets and whether any ROU assets should be grouped with other long-lived assets for impairment testing.
In adopting Topic 842, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. The election to apply the package of practical expedients allows an entity to not apply the new lease standard to the prior year comparative periods in the year of adoption. The application of the package of practical expedients also permits entities not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases in accordance with the new guidance, lease classifications, and whether initial direct costs capitalized under current guidance continue to meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new guidance. We also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements that had commenced prior to January 1, 2019.
On January 1, 2019, ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of
$
771
million
were recorded in connection with the adoption of Topic 842. When added to the
$
85
million
of pre-existing liabilities relating to operating leases for which we no longer utilize the leased assets, total lease liabilities at January 1, 2019 were
$
856
million
. All lease liabilities were measured using a weighted average discount rate of
4.32
%
. The adoption of this standard had no impact to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity or Cash Flows during the period.
Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities
Effective September 30, 2019 we adopted ASU 2018-17 on a retrospective basis. The new standard was issued with the objective to improve the related party guidance on determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers (decision maker fees) are variable interests. Under the new guidance, reporting entities must consider indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements on a proportionate basis, rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety, when determining if decision maker fees constitute a variable interest. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
Clarifying Interaction between Collaborative Arrangements and Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In November 2018, ASU 2018-18 was issued to provide clarity on when transactions between entities in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under the new revenue standard, ASC 606. In determining whether transactions in collaborative arrangements should be accounted under the revenue standard, the update specifies that entities shall apply unit of account guidance to identify distinct goods or services and whether such goods and services are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. ASU 2018-18 also precludes entities from presenting transactions with a collaborative partner which are not in scope of the new revenue standard together with revenue from contracts with customers. The accounting update is effective January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-18 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure Effectiveness
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two amendments as a part of its disclosure framework project aimed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements.
ASU 2018-14 was issued in August 2018 to improve disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendment modifies the current guidance by adding and removing several disclosure requirements while also clarifying the guidance on current disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-14 is effective January 1, 2021 and entities are permitted to adopt the standard early. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-13 was issued to improve the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by eliminating and modifying some disclosures, while also adding new disclosures. This update is effective January 1, 2020, however entities are permitted to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosures. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Credit Losses
ASU 2016-13 was issued in June 2016 with the intent of providing financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Current treatment uses the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delay the recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The accounting update adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the Financial Accounting Standards Board believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses.
Further, ASU 2018-19 was issued in November 2018 to clarify that operating lease receivables should be accounted for under the new leases standard, ASC 842, and are not within the scope of ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. Both accounting updates are effective January 1, 2020. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

2 Includes revenues from lease contracts. Refer to Note 14 Leases.
We disaggregate revenues into categories which represent our principal performance obligations within each business segment because these revenues categories represent the most significant revenue streams in each segment and consequently are considered to be the most relevant revenues information for management to consider in evaluating performance.

Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers. Contract assets represent the amount of revenues which has been recognized in advance of payments received for performance obligations we have fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) and prior to the point in time at which our right to the payment is unconditional. Amounts included in contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when our right to the consideration becomes unconditional.
Contract liabilities represent payments received for performance obligations which have not been fulfilled. Contract liabilities primarily relate to make-up rights and deferred revenues. Revenue recognized during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was
$
19
million
and
$
149
million
, respectively. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenues during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
were
$
171
million
and
$
314
million
, respectively.
Performance Obligations
There were no material revenues recognized in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2019
from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
Revenues to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
Total revenues from performance obligations expected to be fulfilled in future periods is
$
64.7
billion
, of which
$
1.8
billion
and
$
6.0
billion
is expected to be recognized during the
three months
ending
December 31, 2019
, and the year ending
December 31, 2020
, respectively.
The revenues excluded from the amounts above based on optional exemptions available under ASC 606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overall revenues and revenue from contracts with customers. Certain revenues such as flow-through operating costs charged to shippers are recognized at the amount for which we have the right to invoice our customers and are excluded from the amounts for revenues to be recognized in the future from unfulfilled performance obligations above. Variable consideration is excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is generally resolved when actual volumes and prices are determined. For example, we consider interruptible transportation service revenues to be variable revenues since volumes cannot be estimated. Additionally, the effect of escalation on certain tolls which are contractually escalated for inflation has not been reflected in the amounts above as it is not possible to reliably estimate future inflation rates. Revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for regulated contracts where the tolls are periodically reset by the regulator are excluded from the amounts above since future tolls remain unknown. Finally, revenue from contracts with customers which have an original expected duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
BASIC
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been reduced by our pro-rata weighted average interest in our own common shares of
6
million
and
13
million
for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
, respectively, resulting from our reciprocal investment in Noverco Inc.
DILUTED
The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Gray Oak Holdings LLC
In December 2018, Enbridge acquired an effective
22.8
%
interest in the Gray Oak crude oil pipeline through acquisition of a
35
%
membership interest in Gray Oak Holdings LLC (Gray Oak Holdings), which will construct and operate the Gray Oak crude oil pipeline from Texas to the Gulf coast of the United States.
Gray Oak Holdings is a variable interest entity (VIE) as it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities and requires subordinated financial support from Enbridge and other partners. We have determined that we do not have the power to direct the activities of Gray Oak Holdings that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Specifically, the power to direct the activities of the VIE is shared amongst the partners. Each partner has representatives that make up an executive committee that makes the significant decisions for the VIE and none of the partners may make major decisions unilaterally. Therefore, the VIE is accounted for as an unconsolidated VIE.
As at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the carrying amount of the investment in Gray Oak Holdings was
$
466
million
and
nil
, respectively. Enbridge's maximum exposure to loss as at
September 30, 2019
was approximately
$
955
million
and primarily consists of our portion of the project construction costs.
On June 4, 2019, the partners of Gray Oak executed a term loan facility with a syndicate of banks with a borrowing capacity of
US$
1,230
million
to finance the construction of the Gray Oak crude oil pipeline. An Equity Contribution Agreement was executed by the partners of Gray Oak Holdings to backstop the term loan facility until certain release conditions are met. On July 2, 2019, the partners exercised an option on the term loan facility for an additional US
$
87
million
, bringing the total borrowing capacity under the facility to US
$
1,317
million
.
At September 30, 2019 Gray Oak had US
$
904
million
outstanding on the term loan facility, and the guarantee associated with our effective interest was US
$
206
million
. The maximum amount committed by Enbridge under the Equity Contribution Agreement is
US$
300
million
, which is proportionate to our effective ownership interest.
8.
DEBT
On January 22, 2019, Enbridge entered into supplemental indentures with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP) and EEP (together, the Partnerships), pursuant to which Enbridge fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the payment obligations of the Partnerships with respect to the outstanding series of notes issued under the respective indentures of the Partnerships. Concurrently, the Partnerships entered into a subsidiary guarantee agreement pursuant to which they guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the outstanding series of senior notes of Enbridge. See

On February 7, 2019 and February 8, 2019, we terminated certain Canadian and United States dollar credit facilities, including facilities held by Enbridge, Enbridge Gas Inc. (EGI), EEP and SEP. We also increased existing facilities or obtained new facilities to replace the terminated ones under Enbridge, Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. and EGI. As a result, our total credit facility availability increased by approximately
$
444
million
.
On May 16, 2019, Enbridge Inc. entered into a three year, non-revolving, extendible credit facility for
$
641
million
(
¥
52.5
billion
) with a syndicate of Japanese banks.
On July 18, 2019, Enbridge Inc. entered into a five year, non-revolving, bilateral credit facility for
$
500
million
with an Asian bank.
In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain
$
928
million
of uncommitted demand credit facilities, of which
$
588
million
were unutilized as at
September 30, 2019
. As at December 31, 2018, we had
$
807
million
of uncommitted credit facilities, of which
$
548
million
were unutilized.
Our credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of
0.1
%
per annum on the unused portion and draws bear interest at market rates. Certain credit facilities serve as a back-stop to the commercial paper programs and we have the option to extend such facilities, which are currently scheduled to mature from 2021 to 2024.
As at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit facilities that mature within one year, of
$
11,634
million
and
$
7,967
million
, respectively, were supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and therefore have been classified as long-term debt.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
MARKET RISK
Our earnings, cash flows and Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and our share price (collectively, market risks). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks.
The following summarizes the types of market risks to which we are exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage the risks noted below.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We generate certain revenues, incur expenses, and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. As a result, our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variability.
We employ financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency denominated earnings exposure. A combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments is used to hedge anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses, and to manage variability in cash flows. We hedge certain net investments in United States dollar denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreign currency derivatives and United States dollar denominated debt.
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to short-term interest rate variability due to the regular repricing of our variable rate debt, primarily commercial paper. Pay fixed-receive floating interest rate swaps may be used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have implemented a program to significantly mitigate the impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of
2.9
%
.
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt that arise as a result of the changes in market interest rates. Pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps are used, when applicable, to hedge against future changes to the fair value of fixed rate debt which mitigates the impact of fluctuations in the fair value of fixed rate debt via execution of fixed to floating interest rate swaps. As at
September 30, 2019
, we do not have any pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps outstanding.
Our earnings and cash flows are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances. Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a program within some of our subsidiaries to mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on select forecast term debt issuances via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of
3.1
%
.
27
We also monitor our debt portfolio mix of fixed and variable rate debt instruments to manage a consolidated portfolio of floating rate debt within the Board of Directors approved policy limit of a maximum of
30
%
of floating rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. We primarily use qualifying derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk.
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets and investments, as well as through the activities of our energy services subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, power and NGL. We employ financial and physical derivative instruments to fix a portion of the variable price exposures that arise from physical transactions involving these commodities. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in our share price. We have exposure to our own common share price through the issuance of various forms of stock-based compensation, which affect earnings through revaluation of the outstanding units every period. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from
one
form of stock-based compensation, restricted share units. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage equity price risk.
TOTAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The following table summarizes the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position location and carrying value of our derivative instruments.
We generally have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements, or other similar derivative agreements, with the majority of our financial derivative counterparties. These agreements provide for the net settlement of derivative instruments outstanding with specific counterparties in the event of bankruptcy or other significant credit events, and reduce our credit risk exposure on financial derivative asset positions outstanding with the counterparties in those circumstances. The following table summarizes the maximum potential settlement amounts in the event of these specific circumstances. All amounts are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

We estimate that a
loss
of
$
72
million
of AOCI related to unrealized cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. Actual amounts reclassified to earnings depend on the foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. For all forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows is
27
months
as at
September 30, 2019
.
Fair Value Derivatives
For interest rate derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations, including commitments and guarantees, as they become due. In order to mitigate this risk, we forecast cash requirements over a
12
month rolling time period to determine whether sufficient funds will be available and maintain substantial capacity under our committed bank lines of credit to address any contingencies. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and draws under committed credit facilities and long-term debt, which includes debentures and medium-term notes. We also maintain current shelf prospectuses with securities regulators which enables ready access to either the Canadian or United States public capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, we maintain sufficient liquidity through committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and institutions which, if necessary, enables us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately
one year
without accessing the capital markets. We are in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our committed credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at
September 30, 2019
. As a result, all credit facilities are available to us and the banks are obligated to fund and have been funding us under the terms of the facilities.
CREDIT RISK
Entering into derivative instruments may result in exposure to credit risk from the possibility that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into risk management transactions primarily with institutions that possess strong investment grade credit ratings. Credit risk relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated through maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, netting arrangements, and ongoing monitoring of counterparty credit exposure using external credit rating services and other analytical tools.

We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the following counterparty segments:

As at
September 30, 2019
, we provided letters of credit totaling nil in lieu of providing cash collateral to our counterparties pursuant to the terms of the relevant International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements. We held
no
cash collateral on derivative asset exposures as at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
.
Gross derivative balances have been presented without the effects of collateral posted. Derivative assets are adjusted for non-performance risk of our counterparties using their credit default swap spread rates, and are reflected at fair value. For derivative liabilities, our non-performance risk is considered in the valuation.
Credit risk also arises from trade and other long-term receivables, and is mitigated through credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, assessment of credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within EGI, credit risk is mitigated by the utilities' large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for doubtful accounts through the ratemaking process. We actively monitor the financial strength of large industrial customers, and in select cases, have obtained additional security to minimize the risk of default on receivables. Generally, we classify and provide for receivables older than
30
days
as past due. The maximum exposure to credit risk related to non-derivative financial assets is their carrying value.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. We also disclose the fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market value based on generally accepted valuation techniques or models and is supported by observable market prices and rates. When such values are not available, we use discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs to estimate fair value.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We categorize our derivative instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.
Level 1
Level 1 includes derivatives measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. An active market for a derivative is considered to be a market where transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Our Level 1 instruments consist primarily of exchange-traded derivatives used to mitigate the risk of crude oil price fluctuations.
33
Level 2
Level 2 includes derivative valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Derivatives in this category are valued using models or other industry standard valuation techniques derived from observable market data. Such valuation techniques include inputs such as quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors and broker quotes that can be observed or corroborated in the market for the entire duration of the derivative. Derivatives valued using Level 2 inputs include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward and cross currency swap contracts, interest rate swaps, physical forward commodity contracts, as well as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can be obtained.
We have also categorized the fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment and long-term debt as Level 2. The fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment is primarily based on the yield of certain Government of Canada bonds. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar yield, credit risk and tenor.
Level 3
Level 3 includes derivative valuations based on inputs which are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivatives’ fair value. Generally, Level 3 derivatives are longer dated transactions, occur in less active markets, occur at locations where pricing information is not available or have no binding broker quote to support Level 2 classification. We have developed methodologies, benchmarked against industry standards, to determine fair value for these derivatives based on extrapolation of observable future prices and rates. Derivatives valued using Level 3 inputs primarily include long-dated derivative power contracts and NGL and natural gas contracts, basis swaps, commodity swaps, power and energy swaps, as well as options. We do not have any other financial instruments categorized in Level 3.
We use the most observable inputs available to estimate the fair value of our derivatives. When possible, we estimate the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, we use estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange traded derivatives classified in Levels 2 and 3, we use standard valuation techniques to calculate the estimated fair value. These methods include discounted cash flows for forwards and swaps and Black-Scholes-Merton pricing models for options. Depending on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying risk, we use observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange, commodity and share price) and volatility as primary inputs to these valuation techniques. Finally, we consider our own credit default swap spread as well as the credit default swap spreads associated with our counterparties in our estimation of fair value.

If adjusted, the significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table above would have a direct impact on the fair value of our Level 3 derivative instruments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 derivative instruments include forward commodity prices, and for option contracts, price volatility. Changes in forward commodity prices could result in significantly different fair values for our Level 3 derivatives. Changes in price volatility would change the value of the option contracts. Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of price volatility.
Changes in net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

transfers between levels as at
September 30, 2019
or December 31,
2018
.
FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our other long-term investments in other entities with no actively quoted prices are classified as Fair Value Measurement Alternative (FVMA) investments and are recorded at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The carrying value of FVMA other long-term investments totaled
$
98
million
and
$
102
million
as at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
We have Restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling
$
413
million
and
$
323
million
as at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively, which are recognized at fair value.
We have a held to maturity preferred share investment carried at its amortized cost of
$
580
million
and
$
478
million
as at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. These preferred shares are entitled to a cumulative preferred dividend based on the yield of
10
-year Government of Canada bonds plus a margin of
4.38
%
. The fair value of this preferred share investment approximates its face value of
$
580
million
as at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
.
As at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, our long-term debt had a carrying value of
$
65.7
billion
and
$
63.9
billion
, respectively, before debt issuance costs and a fair value of
$
71.8
billion
and
$
64.4
billion
, respectively. We also have non-current notes receivable carried at book value and recorded in Deferred amounts and other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the non-current notes receivable had a carrying value of
$
94
million
and
$
97
million
, respectively, and a fair value of
$
94
million
and
$
97
million
, respectively.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities other than derivative instruments, long-term investments, restricted long-term investments, long-term debt and non-current notes receivable described above approximate their carrying value due to the short period to maturity.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES
We have designated a portion of our United States dollar denominated debt, as well as a portfolio of foreign exchange forward contracts, as a hedge of our net investment in United States dollar denominated investments and subsidiaries.
During the
nine months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
, we recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of
$
166
million
and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of
$
209
million
, respectively, on the translation of United States dollar denominated debt and unrealized gains of
$
1
million
and
$
36
million
, respectively, on the change in fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in OCI. During the
nine months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
, we recognized realized losses of
nil
and
$
46
million
, respectively, in OCI associated with the settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts and recognized realized losses of
nil
and
$
13
million
, respectively, in OCI associated with the settlement of United States dollar denominated debt that had matured during the period.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
were
19.4
%
and
62.0
%
, respectively, and for the
nine months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
were
20.6
%
and
7.9
%
, respectively. The period-over-period change in the effective income tax rates is due to the buy-in of our sponsored vehicles which results in Enbridge being taxed on all of our sponsored vehicle earnings rather than on just our proportionate share, lower 2019 foreign tax rate differentials, non-recurring goodwill impairments from the third quarter of 2018, and a recovery in the second quarter of 2018 related to a change in assertion for the investment in Canadian renewable assets due to the sale which resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized tax basis.

CONTINGENCIES
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial position or results of operations.
TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On January 22, 2019, Enbridge entered into supplemental indentures with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Partnerships, pursuant to which Enbridge fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the payment obligations of the Partnerships with respect to the outstanding series of notes issued under the respective indentures of the Partnerships. Concurrently, the Partnerships entered into a subsidiary guarantee agreement pursuant to which they guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the outstanding series of senior notes of Enbridge. As a result of the guarantees, holders of any of the outstanding guaranteed notes of the Partnerships are in the same position with respect to the net assets, income and cash flows of Enbridge as holders of Enbridge's outstanding guaranteed notes, and vice versa. Other than the Partnerships, Enbridge subsidiaries (including the subsidiaries of the Partnerships, collectively, the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors), are not parties to the subsidiary guarantee agreement and have not otherwise guaranteed any of Enbridge's outstanding series of senior notes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part 1. Item 1.
Financial Statements
of this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, and our audited updated consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes for the year ended
December 31, 2018
.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2019, we have qualified as a foreign private issuer for purposes of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). We intend to continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers. We also intend to maintain our Form S-3 registration statements.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
CANADIAN LINE 3 REPLACEMENT PROGRAM TO BE PLACED INTO SERVICE
On August 30, 2019,
we
announced that
we have
reached a commercial agreement with shippers to place the
Canadian L3R Program
into service on December 1, 2019. The agreement reflects the importance of this safety-driven maintenance project to protecting the environment and ensuring the continued safe and reliable operations of
our
Mainline System well into the future.
On August 30, 2019,
we
also filed, with the
Canada Energy Regulator (CER),
a tariff with a temporary surcharge for this offering with an effective date of December 1, 2019. This tariff will be superseded by the full negotiated Line 3 tariff upon completion of the
U.S. L3R Program.
STATE OF MINNESOTA PERMITTING TIMELINE FOR U.S. LINE 3 REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
On June 3, 2019, the Minnesota Court of Appeals rendered a decision on the
Minnesota Public Utilities Commission's (MNPUC's)
adequacy determination of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
for the
U.S. L3R Program
.
While denying eight of the nine appealed items, the Minnesota Court of Appeals identified one issue that led them to reverse the adequacy determination.
On July 3, 2019, certain project opponents sought further appellate review from the Minnesota Supreme Court. On September 17, 2019, based on the respective responses of the MNPUC and
the Company,
the Minnesota Supreme Court denied the opponents’ petitions thus restoring the MNPUC with jurisdiction. At a hearing on October 1, 2019, the MNPUC directed the Department of Commerce to submit a revised FEIS by December 9, 2019.
We
will continue to consult with relevant state agencies about next steps.
At this time,
we
cannot determine when all necessary permits will be issued pending receipt of further information from the MNPUC on a timeline to complete this work. For further details refer to
Growth Project
s
- Regulatory Matters - United States Line 3 Replacement Program
.
52
MAINLINE SYSTEM CONTRACTING
On August 2, 2019,
we
launched an open season for transportation services on
our
Mainline System. The open season provided shippers with the opportunity to enter into long-term contracts for priority access on the Mainline System upon maturity of the current Competitive Tolling Settlement agreement on June 30, 2021.
On September 27, 2019,
the CER ordered that
we
may not offer firm service to prospective shippers on
our
Mainline System until such firm service, including all associated tolls and terms and conditions of service, has been approved by the CER. While this decision was a significant departure from past regulatory precedents, the CER noted that its decision to hold a regulatory review prior to the open season does not prejudice
our
ability to offer long term priority access contracts on the Mainline System.
The open season is the result of 18 months of extensive negotiations with
our
diverse customer base and was formulated in direct response to
our
core customer base who want toll certainty and priority access. These shippers, which represent the majority of Mainline System throughput, continue to support the offering.
We plan
to file an application with the CER seeking approval of a firm service offering prior to the end of the year.
ENBRIDGE GAS NEW BRUNSWICK BUSINESS
On October 1, 2019, we closed the sale of EGNB to Liberty Utilities (Canada) LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., for proceeds of approximately $331 million, subject to customary closing adjustments.
ST. LAWRENCE GAS COMPANY
On November 1, 2019, we closed the sale of the issued and outstanding shares of St. Lawrence Gas for proceeds of approximately
$72 million
, subject to customary closing adjustments.
ENBRIDGE GAS INC. 2019 RATE APPLICATION
In September 2019, EGI received a Decision and Order from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) on its application for 2019 rates. The 2019 rate application was filed in December 2018 in accordance with the parameters of EGI’s OEB approved Price Cap Incentive Regulation rate setting mechanism and represents the first year of a five-year term. The Decision and Order approved an effective date for base rates of April 1, 2019, and the inclusion of incremental capital module amounts to allow for the recovery of incremental capital investments.
SECURED GROWTH PROJECTS UPDATE
On August 2, 2019, we announced that we are proceeding with $2 billion of new growth projects across several business segments. We now have a $19 billion inventory of secured projects at various stages of execution which are scheduled to come into service between 2019 and 2023. For further details refer to
Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects
.

TEXAS EASTERN PIPELINE RUPTURE
On August 1, 2019, a rupture occurred on Line 15, a 30-inch natural gas pipeline that is a component of the Texas Eastern natural gas pipeline system in Lincoln County, Kentucky. While the two adjacent pipelines have been returned to service, Line 15 remains shut down in the affected area and the timeline for its return to service has not yet been determined. There was one fatality. We are continuing to support the National Transportation Safety Board in its investigation, the community and the community members who were impacted by the rupture. The Texas Eastern natural gas pipeline system extends approximately 1,700 miles from producing fields in the Gulf Coast region of Texas and Louisiana to Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
Due to the incident, before expected recoveries, we experienced lower revenues and higher operating costs of $18 million in the third quarter of 2019. Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) is included in a comprehensive insurance program that is maintained for our subsidiaries and affiliates, which includes liability, property and business interruption insurance.
TEXAS EASTERN RATE CASE
On June 1, 2019, Texas Eastern put into effect its updated rates. These increased recourse rates are subject to refund and interest. Following extensive negotiations on the Texas Eastern rate case, we reached an agreement with shippers and filed the Stipulation and Agreement with the FERC on October 28, 2019. We expect an approval in the second quarter of 2020.

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
Three months ended September 30, 2019
, compared with the
three months ended September 30, 2018
Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders were net
positively
impacted by
$848
million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
•
the absence in
2019
of a goodwill impairment charge of $1,019 million after-tax attributable to us in
2018
resulting from the classification of our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing businesses as held for sale;
•
the absence in
2019
of a loss of $74 million ($117 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
resulting from the sale of Midcoast Operating, L.P. and its subsidiaries (together, MOLP); and
•
the absence in
2019
of asset monetization transaction costs of $45 million ($49 million after-tax attributable to us) recorded in
2018
attributable to divestiture activity in the quarter.
The positive factors above were partially offset by the following unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors:
•
a non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value loss of $79 million ($52 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2019
, compared with a gain of $264 million ($150 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
, reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity prices risks;
•
a loss of $62 million ($47 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2019
related to asset write-down and goodwill impairment losses at our equity investee, DCP Midstream, LLC.; and
•
a loss of $105 million ($79 million after-tax attributable to us) in 2019 resulting from the write-off of project costs related to the Access Northeast pipeline project
.
The non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses discussed above generally arise as a result of a comprehensive long-term economic hedging program to mitigate interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. This program creates volatility in reported short-term earnings through the recognition of unrealized non-cash gains and losses on financial derivative instruments used to hedge these risks. Over the long-term, we believe our hedging program supports the reliable cash flows and dividend growth upon which our investor value proposition is based.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$191
million
increase
in Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•
stronger contributions from our Liquids Pipelines segment due to a higher International Joint Tariff (IJT) Benchmark Toll and higher Mainline System ex-Gretna throughput driven by an increase in supply and continuous capacity optimization;
•
increased earnings from our Liquids Pipelines segment due to higher Flanagan South Pipeline, Seaway Crude Pipeline System and Bakken Pipeline System throughput period-over-period;
•
contributions from new Gas Transmission and Midstream assets placed into service in the fourth quarter of
2018
; and
•
lower earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in
2019
following the completion of the buy-in of our sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter of
2018
.
The positive business factors above were partially offset by the following:
•
the absence in
2019
of earnings from MOLP and the provincially regulated portion of our Canadian gas gathering and processing businesses which were sold in the second half of
2018
; and
•
higher operating costs on our Gas Transmission and Midstream assets primarily due to higher pipeline integrity costs.
55
Nine months ended September 30, 2019
, compared with the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders were net
positively
impacted by
$2,439
million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
•
the absence in
2019
of a goodwill impairment charge of $1,019 million after-tax attributable to us in
2018
resulting from the classification of our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing businesses as held for sale;
•
the absence in
2019
of a loss of $913 million ($701 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
on MOLP resulting from a revision to the fair value of the assets held for sale based on the sale price
;
•
the absence in
2019
of a loss of $74 million ($117 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
resulting from the sale of MOLP;
•
the absence in
2019
of a loss of $154 million ($95 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
related to the Line 10 crude oil pipeline, which is a component of our Mainline System, resulting from its classification as an asset held for sale and the subsequent measurement at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell;
•
a non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gain of $1,052 million ($779 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2019
, compared with a loss of $295 million ($146 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
, reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity prices risks;
•
employee severance, transition and transformation costs of $88 million ($78 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2019
, compared with $143 million ($137 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
; and
•
the absence in
2019
of asset monetization transaction costs of $65 million ($64 million after-tax attributable to us) recorded in
2018
attributable to divestiture activity in the period.
The positive factors above were partially offset by the following unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors:
•
a non-cash, write-down of crude oil and natural gas inventories to the lower of cost or market in our Energy Services business segment of $171 million ($131 million after-tax attributable to us) compared to $23 million ($17 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2018
;
•
a loss of $62 million ($47 million after-tax attributable to us) in
2019
related to asset write-down and goodwill impairment losses at our equity investee, DCP Midstream, LLC.;
•
a loss of $105 million ($79 million after-tax attributable to us) in 2019 resulting from the write-off of project costs related to the Access Northeast pipeline project
;
•
the absence in
2019
of a gain of $63 million after-tax in
2018
that resulted from the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on our United States Renewable Power Generation and Transmission assets; and
•
the absence in
2019
of a deferred income tax recovery of $267 million ($196 million attributable to us) in
2018
related to a change in the assertion for the investment in Canadian renewable energy generation assets.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$711
million
increase
in Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•
stronger contributions from our Liquids Pipelines segment due to a higher IJT Benchmark Toll and higher Mainline System ex-Gretna throughput driven by an increase in supply and continuous capacity optimization;
•
increased earnings from our Liquids Pipelines segment due to higher Flanagan South Pipeline, Seaway Crude Pipeline System and Bakken Pipeline System throughput period-over-period;
•
contributions from new Gas Transmission and Midstream assets placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2018;
56
•
increased earnings from our Gas Distribution segment due to colder weather experienced in our franchise areas, higher distribution rates and customer base, and the absence in 2019 of forecasted earnings sharing which was recorded in 2018;
•
increased earnings from our Energy Services segment due to the widening of certain location differentials during the second half of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, which increased opportunities to generate profitable transportation margins that were realized during 2019;
•
lower earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in
2019
following the completion of the buy-in of our sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter of
2018
; and
•
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Canadian to United States dollar average exchange rate (Average Exchange Rate) of $1.33 in 2019 compared with $1.29 in 2018, partially offset by realized losses arising from our foreign exchange risk management program.
The positive business factors above were partially offset by the following:
•
the absence in
2019
of earnings from MOLP and the provincially regulated portion of our Canadian gas gathering and processing businesses which were sold in the second half of
2018
;
•
higher operating costs on our Gas Transmission and Midstream assets primarily due to higher pipeline integrity costs; and
•
higher income tax expense due to higher earnings, the buy-in of our United States sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2018 and lower foreign tax rate differentials in 2019.

EBITDA was
negatively
impacted by
$422
million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
•
a non-cash, unrealized loss of $180 million in
2019
compared with a gain of $211 million in
2018
reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity price risks; and
•
the absence in

of a gain of $28 million in
2018
on the sale of pipe related to our Sandpiper Project.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$193
million
increase
is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•
a higher IJT Benchmark Toll of US
$4.21
in 2019 compared with US$4.15 in 2018;
•
higher Mainline System ex-Gretna throughput of 2,714 thousands of barrels per day (kbpd) in 2019 compared with 2,578 kbpd in 2018 driven by an increase in supply and continuous capacity optimization;
•
higher Flanagan South Pipeline and Seaway Crude Pipeline System throughput period-over-period driven by strong Gulf Coast demand resulting from favorable price differentials; and
•
higher Bakken Pipeline System throughput period-over-period driven by strong production in the region.
57
The positive business factors above were partially offset by the unfavorable effect of a lower foreign exchange hedge rate used to lock-in United States dollar denominated Canadian Mainline revenues of US$1.19 in 2019 compared with US$1.26 in 2018.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019
, compared with the

compared with a loss of $362 million in

reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity price risks; and
•
the absence in

of a loss of $154 million in

related to Line 10, which is a component of our Mainline System, resulting from its classification as an asset held for sale and the subsequent measurement at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
The positive factors above were partially offset by the absence in

of a gain of $28 million in
2018
on the sale of pipe related to our Sandpiper Project.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining

•
higher Mainline System ex-Gretna throughput of 2,698 kbpd in 2019 compared with 2,613 kbpd in 2018 driven by an increase in supply and continuous capacity optimization;
•
higher Flanagan South Pipeline and Seaway Crude Pipeline System throughput period-over-period driven by the redirection of throughput to the Gulf Coast resulting from refinery outages in the United States Midwest in the first half of 2019 and strong Gulf Coast demand resulting from favorable price differentials;
•
higher Bakken Pipeline System throughput period-over-period driven by strong production in the region; and
•
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Average Exchange Rate of $1.33 in 2019 compared with $1.29 in 2018.

•
the absence in
2019
of a loss of $74 million in
2018
resulting from the sale of MOLP.
The positive factors above were partially offset by the following:
•
a loss of $62 million in
2019
related to asset write-down and goodwill impairment losses at our equity investee, DCP Midstream, LLC.; and
•
a loss of $105 million in 2019 resulting from the write-off of project costs related to the Access Northeast pipeline project
.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$9
million
decrease
is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•
higher operating costs on our US Gas Transmission assets primarily due to higher pipeline integrity costs;
•
lower revenues and higher operating costs from US Gas Transmission due to the Texas Eastern natural gas pipeline system incident in Lincoln County, Kentucky, refer to
Recent Developments - Texas Eastern Pipeline Rupture;
and
•
decreased fractionation margins at our Aux Sable joint venture driven by lower NGL prices.
The negative business factors above were partially offset by contributions from Valley Crossing Pipeline and certain other Offshore and US Gas Transmission assets that were placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2018.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019
, compared with the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
EBITDA was negatively impacted by the absence of contributions in 2019 of approximately $240 million from the sale of MOLP on August 1, 2018 and the sale of the provincially regulated portion of our Canadian gas gathering and processing businesses on October 1, 2018.
EBITDA was
positively
impacted by
$1,849
million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
•
the absence in
2019
of a goodwill impairment charge of $1,019 million in
2018
resulting from the classification of our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing businesses as held for sale;
•
the absence in
2019
of a loss of $913 million in
2018
on MOLP resulting from a revision to the fair value of the assets held for sale based on the sale price; and
•
the absence in
2019
of a loss of $74 million in
2018
resulting from the sale of MOLP.
The positive factors above were partially offset by the following unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors:
•
a loss of $62 million in
2019
related to asset write-down and goodwill impairment losses at our equity investee, DCP Midstream, LLC.; and
•
a loss of $105 million in 2019 resulting from the write-off of project costs related to the Access Northeast pipeline project
.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$44
million
increase
is explained by the following significant business factors:
•
contributions from Valley Crossing Pipeline and certain other Offshore and US Gas Transmission assets that were placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2018; and
•
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Average Exchange Rate of $1.33 in
2019
compared with $1.29 in
2018
.

three months ended September 30, 2018
EBITDA
decreased
by
$4
million primarily explained by accelerated capital cost allowance deductions reflected as a pass through to customers.
This negative factor was partially offset by the following:
•
higher distribution charges primarily resulting from increases in distribution rates and customer base; and
•
synergy captures realized from the amalgamation of EGD and Union Gas.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019
, compared with the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
EBITDA was
negatively
impacted by
$22
million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by employee severance costs of $37 million in
2019
related to the amalgamation of EGD and Union Gas.
This negative factor was partially offset by the following unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors:
•
a non-cash, unrealized gain of $9 million in 2019 compared with a gain of $3 million in 2018 arising from the change in the mark-to-market value of our equity investee's, Noverco Inc.'s derivative financial instruments; and
•
the absence in
2019
of a negative equity earnings adjustment of $9 million in
2018
at our equity investee, Noverco Inc., arising from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the United States.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$64
million
increase
is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•
increased earnings of $41 million resulting from colder weather experienced in our franchise service areas when compared to the corresponding period in 2018;
•
increased earnings from higher distribution charges primarily resulting from increases in distribution rates and customer base;

•
the absence in 2019 of forecasted earnings sharing which was recorded in 2018 under EGD's previous incentive rate structure; and
•

•
the absence in 2019 of an asset impairment charge of $22 million in 2018 from our equity investment in NRGreen Power Limited Partnership related to the Chickadee Creek waste heat recovery facility in Alberta; and
▪
the absence in 2019 of a loss of $11 million in 2018 representing our share of losses incurred by our equity investee, Rampion Offshore Wind Limited, primarily due to the repair and restoration of damaged power transmission cables.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$32
million
decrease
is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•
weaker wind resources at United States wind facilities;
•
the absence in 2019 of $11 million in 2018 from a positive arbitration settlement related to our Canadian wind facilities; and
•
higher mechanical repair costs at certain United States wind facilities.

Three months ended September 30, 2019
, compared with the
three months ended September 30, 2018
EBITDA was net
positively
impacted by
$170
million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by a non-cash, unrealized gain of $91 million in
2019
compared with a loss of $99 million in
2018
reflecting the revaluation of derivatives used to manage the profitability of transportation and storage transactions and manage the exposure to movements in commodity prices. This positive factor was offset by a non-cash, write-down of crude oil and natural gas inventories to the lower of cost or market of $27 million in
2019
compared with $7 million in
2018
.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining
$17
million
increase
is primarily due to increased earnings from Energy Services' crude operations as a result of the widening of certain location and quality differentials during the second half of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, which increased opportunities to generate profitable transportation margins that were realized during 2019.

LIQUIDS PIPELINES
•
Gray Oak Pipeline Project
-
a crude oil pipeline project connecting west Texas to destinations in the Corpus Christi and Sweeny/Freeport markets. The pipeline is a joint development with Phillips 66 and could have an ultimate capacity of approximately 900,000 barrels per day, subject to additional shipper commitments. During the first quarter of 2019 project execution forecasts were revised to reflect updated construction cost estimates and timing, with an expected in-service date by the end of the year.
•
Canadian Line 3 Replacement Program -
on August 30, 2019, we announced that we have reached a commercial agreement with shippers to place the Canadian L3R Program into service on December 1, 2019. Refer to
Recent Developments - Canadian Line 3 Replacement Program to be placed into service.
GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM
•
Atlantic Bridge
-
expansion of the Algonquin Gas Transmission systems to transport 133 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) of natural gas to the New England Region. The expansion primarily consists of various meter station additions, the replacement of a natural gas pipeline in Connecticut and New York, compression additions in Connecticut, and a new compressor station in Massachusetts. The meter stations were placed into service in 2017 and 2018. The Connecticut portion of the project was placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2017. The New York portion of the project achieved partial in-service in November 2018 and reached full in-service in October 2019, upon which we began earning incremental revenues. Due to ongoing permitting delays in Massachusetts, the revised expected in service date for the Massachusetts portion of the project is the second half of 2020.
•
Spruce Ridge Project
- a natural gas pipeline expansion of Westcoast Energy Inc.'s British Columbia (BC) Pipeline in northern BC. The project will provide additional capacity of up to 402 mmcf/d. Due to commercial delays, the revised expected in-service date is the second half of 2021.
•
T-South Reliability & Expansion Program
- a natural gas pipeline expansion of Westcoast Energy Inc.'s BC Pipeline in southern BC that will provide improved compressor reliability and additional capacity of approximately 190 mmcf/d into the Huntington/Sumas market at the United States/Canada border. The projects were approved by the CER in September 2019 and have an expected in-service date in the second half of 2021.
GAS DISTRIBUTION
•
Dawn-Parkway Expansion
- the expansion of the existing Dawn to Parkway gas transmission system, which provides transportation service from Dawn to the Greater Toronto Area. The project will provide additional capacity of approximately 83 mmcf/d with an expected in-service date by the end of 2021.
65
RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION
•
Hohe See Offshore Wind Project and Expansion
- a wind project located in the North Sea, off the coast of Germany that will generate approximately 497-MW, with an additional 112-MW from the expansion. The Hohe See Project and Expansion is backed by a government legislated 20-year revenue support mechanism. The project generated first power in July 2019 and full operating capacity was reached in October 2019. The project expansion is expected to be placed into service by the end of the year.
•
Saint Nazaire France Offshore Wind Project -
a wind project located off the west coast of France that will generate approximately 480 megawatts. We hold an effective 50% interest with EDF Renouvelables. Project revenues are backed by a 20-year fixed price power purchase agreement with added power production protection. Our share of the total investment in the project is $1.8 billion, with an equity contribution of $0.3 billion. The remainder of the construction will be financed through non-recourse project level debt. The project is expected to be placed into service in the second half of 2022.
GROWTH PROJECTS - REGULATORY MATTERS
United States Line 3 Replacement Program
On June 3, 2019, the Minnesota Court of Appeals rendered a decision on the MNPUC's adequacy determination of the FEIS for the U.S. L3R Program. While denying eight of the nine issues on appeal, the Minnesota Court of Appeals identified one issue that led them to reverse the adequacy determination. The Minnesota Court of Appeals remanded and directed the MNPUC to perform spill modeling analysis within the Lake Superior Watershed. On July 3, 2019, certain project opponents sought further appellate review from the Minnesota Supreme Court. On September 17, 2019, based on the respective responses of the MNPUC and
the Company,
the Minnesota Supreme Court denied the opponents’ petitions thus restoring the MNPUC with jurisdiction. At a hearing on October 1, 2019, the MNPUC directed the Department of Commerce to submit a revised FEIS by December 9, 2019.
As for environmental permits, the spill modeling required by the Minnesota Court of Appeals is a prerequisite to finalizing other state permits. On September 27, 2019, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) issued a denial without prejudice of the U.S. L3R Program's 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC). This action was expected since the MPCA is prohibited by State law from issuing a final 401 WQC until the FEIS has been revised to reflect the June 3, 2019 Minnesota Court of Appeals decision requiring additional spill modelling.
The MNPUC’s statement on July 3, 2019 indicated that the agency will seek public comment and work expeditiously to address the FEIS deficiency. Additionally, the State permitting agencies’ previously stated their permitting efforts would continue in parallel with the MNPUC process and that work continues to advance accordingly. Following the Department of Commerce’s completion of its spill modelling analysis,
we expect
further details regarding the MNPUC’s process and timelines, after which
we expect
permitting agencies to re-align their timelines to the MNPUC process.
At this time,
we
cannot determine when all necessary permits will be issued pending receipt of further information from the MNPUC on a timeline to complete this work.
Construction costs for the Line 3 Replacement Program are tracking below budget in Canada and above budget in the United States due to permitting delays. Depending on the final in-service date, there is a risk that the project will exceed
our
total cost estimate of $9 billion.

OTHER ANNOUNCED PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The following projects have been announced by us, but have not yet met our criteria to be classified as commercially secured:
LIQUIDS PIPELINES
•
Texas COLT Offshore Loading Project
-
the Texas COLT Offshore Loading Project will facilitate the direct loading of very large crude carriers from Freeport, Texas. The project consists of a terminal, a 42-inch offshore pipeline, platform and two single point mooring systems with connectivity to all key North American supply basins. In the second quarter of 2019 the United States Maritime Administration and the United States Coast Guard temporarily suspended processing of Texas COLT Offshore Loading Project's deepwater port license application to assess further information regarding the addition of a marine vapor control system to the original project design. We continue to work closely with Federal and State permitting agencies. During 2019 we acquired the positions previously held by our other partners.
GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM
•
Rio Bravo Pipeline
-
the Rio Bravo Pipeline (Rio Bravo) and other natural gas pipelines in South Texas will transport natural gas to NextDecade's Rio Grande LNG project located in Brownsville, Texas. Rio Bravo is designed to transport 4.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Agua Dulce area to Rio Grande LNG. Along with NextDecade Corporation, we announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly pursue this development and we anticipate finalizing definitive documentation reflecting the terms of the MOU in the fourth quarter of 2019.
•
Texas Eastern Venice Lateral Project -
a reversal and expansion of Texas Eastern’s Line 40 from its existing Roads compressor station to a new delivery point with the proposed Gator Express pipeline just south of Texas Eastern’s Larose compressor station. The project will deliver 1.5 billion cubic feet of feed gas to Venture Global’s proposed Plaquemines LNG export facility located in Plaquemine Parish, Louisiana. The project is expected to be placed into service by 2022.
We also have a large portfolio of additional projects under development that have not yet progressed to the point of public announcement.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The maintenance of financial strength and flexibility is fundamental to our growth strategy, particularly in light of the significant number and size of capital projects currently secured or under development. Access to timely funding from capital markets could be limited by factors outside our control, including but not limited to financial market volatility resulting from economic and political events both inside and outside North America. To mitigate such risks, we actively manage financial plans and strategies to ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to meet routine operating and future capital requirements. In the near term, we generally expect to utilize cash from operations together with commercial paper issuance and/or credit facility draws and the proceeds of capital market offerings to fund liabilities as they become due, finance capital expenditures, fund debt retirements and pay common and preference share dividends. We target to maintain sufficient liquidity through securement of committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and financial institutions to enable us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets.
67
Our financing plan is regularly updated to reflect evolving capital requirements and financial market conditions and identifies a variety of potential sources of debt and equity funding alternatives. Our current financing plan does not require the use of equity funding alternatives and was the leading principle behind the suspension of our Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan in November 2018.
CAPITAL MARKET ACCESS
We ensure ready access to capital markets, subject to market conditions, through maintenance of shelf prospectuses that allow for issuance of long-term debt, equity and other forms of long-term capital when market conditions are attractive.
Credit Facilities and Liquidity
To ensure ongoing liquidity and to mitigate the risk of capital market disruption, we maintain ready access to funds through committed bank credit facilities and actively manage our bank funding sources to optimize pricing and other terms.

September 30, 2019
, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we expect to continue to comply with such covenants.

Strong growth in internal cash flow, ready access to liquidity from diversified sources and a stable business model support our strong credit profile. We actively monitor and manage key financial metrics with the objective of sustaining investment grade credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and ongoing access to bank funding and term debt capital on attractive terms. Key measures of financial strength that are closely managed include the ability to service debt obligations from operating cash flow and the ratio of debt to total capital. As at
September 30, 2019
, our debt capitalization ratio was
47.9%
, compared with
46.8%
as at
December 31, 2018
.
There are no material restrictions on our cash. Total restricted cash of
$57 million
, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, primarily includes cash collateral and amounts received in respect of specific shipper commitments. Cash and cash equivalents held by certain subsidiaries may not be readily accessible for alternative uses by us.
Excluding current maturities of long-term debt, we had a negative working capital position as at
September 30, 2019
. The major contributing factor to the negative working capital position was the ongoing funding of our growth capital program.
To address this negative working capital position, we maintain significant liquidity in the form of committed credit facilities and other sources as previously discussed, which enable the funding of liabilities as they become due. As at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, our net available liquidity totaled
$7,223 million
and $
9,409 million
, respectively.

Significant sources and uses of cash for the
nine months ended
September 30, 2019
and
September 30, 2018
are summarized below:
Operating Activities
•
The decrease in cash flow provided by operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our operating assets and liabilities fluctuate in the normal course due to various factors, including the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices and activity levels on working capital within our business segments, the timing of tax payments, as well as timing of cash receipts and payments generally.
•
The factor above was partially offset by stronger contributions from our operating segments and contributions from new assets placed into service as discussed under
Results of Operations
.
Investing Activities
•
The increase in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was attributable to activity in 2018 that was not present in 2019, primarily relating to a distribution received in the second quarter of 2018 from Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC (Sabal Trail) as a partial return of capital for construction and development costs previously funded by Sabal Trail's partners. In addition, in the third quarter of 2018, we received proceeds from asset dispositions from our sale of MOLP and international renewable assets.
70
•
The factors above were partially offset by lower additions to intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, primarily due to the wind down of the Ontario Cap and Trade program in the fourth quarter of 2018.
•
We are continuing with the execution of our growth capital program which is further described in
Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects
.
The timing of project approval, construction and in-service dates impacts the timing of cash requirements.
Financing Activities
•
The decrease in cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to a net increase in commercial paper and credit facility draws and lower repayments of maturing long-term debt, partially offset by a decrease of long-term debt issued in 2019 when compared with the same period in 2018.
•
The decrease in cash used in financing activities in 2019 was also attributable to activity in 2018 that was not present in 2019, primarily relating to proceeds from the sale of a portion of our interest in our Canadian and U.S. renewable assets to the CPPIB in the third quarter of 2018.
•
Our common share dividend payments increased period-over-period primarily due to the increase in the common share dividend rate and an increase in the number of common shares outstanding in connection with the buy-in of our sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2018. These factors were partially offset by the suspension of our Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan in the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, in the first quarter of 2019, Westcoast Energy Inc. redeemed all of its outstanding Series 7 and Series 8 preference shares for a total payment of $300 million.
•
Distributions to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests decreased as a result of the buy-in of our sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2018.
LEGAL AND OTHER UPDATES
LIQUIDS PIPELINES
DCP Midstream, LP Definitive Agreement and Equity Restructuring
On November 6, 2019 DCP Midstream, LP (DCP MLP) announced the execution of a definitive agreement with its general partner, in which we indirectly own a 50% equity interest, and the concurrent closing of an equity restructuring transaction. The transaction resulted in the general partner converting all of its incentive distribution rights in DCP MLP, which were eliminated, and its 2% economic general partner interest in DCP MLP, while retaining a non-economic general partner interest, into newly-issued DCP MLP common units. As a result of this transaction, we increased our indirect ownership of outstanding DCP MLP common units from approximately 18% to approximately 28%, while retaining our indirect 50% ownership interest in the general partner of DCP MLP.
Eddystone Rail Legal Matter
In February 2017, our subsidiary Eddystone Rail Company, LLC (Eddystone Rail) filed an action against several defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, seeking damages in excess of US$140 million. On September 7, 2018, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted Eddystone Rail's motion to amend its complaint to add several affiliates of the corporate defendants as additional defendants (the Amended Complaint). Eddystone Rail’s chances of success on its Amended Complaint cannot be predicted at this time. Defendants have filed Answers and Counterclaims which, together with subsequent amendments, seek damages from Eddystone Rail in excess of US$32 million. The defendants’ chances of success on their counterclaims cannot be predicted at this time.
71
Dakota Access Pipeline
In February 2017, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe filed motions with the United States Court for the District of Columbia contesting the validity of the process used by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) to permit the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Oglala Sioux and Yankton Sioux Tribes also filed claims in the case to challenge the Army Corps permit and environmental review process. In August 2018, in response to a Court order to reconsider components of its environmental analysis, the Army Corps issued its decision that no supplemental environmental analysis was required. All four Tribes have since amended their complaints to include claims challenging the adequacy of the Army Corps’ supplemental environmental analysis. According to the United States Court for the District of Columbia's schedule, the filing of summary judgment briefs on the merit of the plaintiff's claims challenging the adequacy of the Army Corps' remand process will proceed throughout the remainder of the year.
Line 5 Dual Pipelines
In December 2018, Michigan law PA 359 was enacted which created the Mackinac Straits Corridor Authority (Corridor Authority) and authorized an agreement between us and the Corridor Authority for the construction of a tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac (Straits) to house a replacement for the Line 5 Dual Pipelines that currently cross the Straits (the Tunnel Project). On December 19, 2018, we entered into a Tunnel Project agreement with the Government of Michigan. On March 28, 2019, the Michigan Attorney General issued an opinion finding the Michigan law PA 359 unconstitutional and soon after, Michigan Governor Whitmer issued a directive to Michigan agencies to cease any action implementing the statute.
To resolve the legal uncertainty created by the Michigan Attorney General's opinion and the directive issued by Michigan Governor Whitmer, on June 6, 2019, we filed a complaint with the Michigan Court of Claims to establish the constitutional validity of Michigan law PA 359 and enforceability of various agreements entered into between us and the State of Michigan related to the construction of the Tunnel Project. On June 11, 2019, State officials confirmed that we had valid permits to conduct specified geotechnical work which is ongoing and necessary to prepare for Tunnel Project construction. On June 27, 2019, the Michigan Attorney General requested the Michigan Court of Claims to dismiss our complaint and we opposed her request with our response filed on August 1, 2019. On October 31, 2019, the Michigan Court of Claims determined that Michigan law PA 359 is valid and is not unconstitutional. The Michigan Attorney General has filed an appeal of this decision.
On June 27, 2019, the Michigan Attorney General filed a complaint in the Michigan Ingham County Circuit Court that requests the Court to declare the easement that we have for the operation of the dual pipelines in the Straits to be invalid and to prohibit continued operation of the dual pipelines in the Straits “as soon as possible after a reasonable notice period to allow orderly adjustments by affected parties”. We continue to vigorously defend this action and on September 16, 2019, we filed our motion for summary disposition and requested dismissal of the State’s Complaint in its entirety. On that same date, the State filed a motion for partial summary disposition and judgment in its favor on its claim that the easement was void from inception. The parties are now responding to the motions for summary disposition and briefing will be completed by December 10, 2019.
72
Line 5 Easement
For over six years, we have been in negotiations and discussions with the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians (the Band) to resolve the Band’s concerns over our Line 5 pipeline and right-of-way across the Bad River Reservation (the Reservation). Only a small portion of the total easements across 12 miles of the Reservation are at issue. These negotiations and discussions did not resolve the Band’s concerns. On July 23, 2019, the Band filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin alleging that our continued use of Line 5 to transport crude oil and related liquids across the Reservation is a public nuisance under federal and state law and also alleging that the pipeline is in trespass on certain tracts of land in which the Band possesses undivided ownership interests. The Band also seeks an order prohibiting us from using Line 5 to transport crude oil and related liquids across the Reservation and requiring removal of the pipeline from the Reservation. On September 24, 2019, in response to the Band’s complaint, we filed an answer, defenses, and counterclaims against the Band, as well as a motion to dismiss with respect to Enbridge Inc. and EEP. On October 15, 2019, the Band filed its first amended complaint against us, adding new assertions about allegedly unsafe conditions at a specific location of the pipeline on the Reservation and requesting a declaration by the court that the Band has regulatory authority over Line 5. On October 29, 2019, we filed our response, defenses and counterclaims to the Band's first amended complaint. A trial date has been set for July 2021.
The Band has not sought a temporary injunction to immediately discontinue operation of Line 5. However, if successful, the Band’s lawsuit could impact our ability to operate the pipeline on the Reservation. We have been vigorously defending the Band’s action since it was filed and will continue to do so. Nevertheless, we also plan to continue working with the Band in an effort to address its concerns, and at the same time, as a contingency measure, we have begun taking steps to enable the construction of a reroute of Line 5 around the Reservation.
OTHER LITIGATION
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various other legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE COMMITMENTS
We have signed contracts for the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling approximately $2.3 billion which are expected to be paid over the next five years.
TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.
