text: The March 6, 2013 termination is related to Debt Derivatives hedging 
  the US $350 million senior notes due 2038 (2038 Notes). The Debt 
  Derivatives 
  that were terminated on March 6, 2013 were not 
  designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and had an 
  original term of 10 years to August 15, 2018. The new Debt Derivatives 
  hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with the principal and 
  interest obligations on the 2038 Notes to their maturity at market rates 
  on the respective dates of the transactions and are designated as 
  effective hedges for accounting purposes. 
  hedged transaction affects net income, equivalent amounts are recycled 
  into net income from the hedging reserve. We settled US $435 million 
  of Expenditure Derivatives in the year ended December 31, 2013 for 
  Cdn $430 million and the Expenditure Derivatives remaining at 
  December 31, 2013 have terms to maturity ranging from January 2014 
  to December 2014. All of our currently outstanding Expenditure 
  Derivatives have been designated as effective hedges against foreign 
  exchange risk for accounting purposes. 
  
  *Equity Derivatives*
  We use stock-based compensation derivatives (Equity Derivatives) to 
  hedge the market price appreciation risk of the RCI Class B shares 
  granted under our stock-based compensation programs. We use Equity 
  Derivatives for risk-management purposes only.
