The loss from currency translation adjustments in 2013 of $22 million was due to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar, which was partially offset by the strengthening of the British Pound. The currency translation adjustment in 2012 of $30 million reflects the strengthening of the Canadian Dollar and the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar. The loss from currency translation adjustments in 2011 of $18 million was due to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar.
