Table 2: Relative improvement in confidence level contours in the $(\Omega _{\rm M},w)$-plane from corrections for gravitational lensing. The results presented in this table were obtained using a Fisher matrix analysis for an SNLS-like data set consisting of 250 high redshift SNe Ia and 44 low redshift SNe Ia (assumed not to be affected by lensing).
