The sensitivities above reflect all commodity contracts as listed in Note 11 of our 2009 MD&A and Financial Statements and are based on forward markets as at February 16, 2010. To the extent the market price of crude oil and natural gas change significantly from current levels, the sensitivities will no longer be relevant as the effect of our commodity contracts will change.
