1 Primarily due to decrease in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligations. 2 Plan settlements for the Canadian Plans are related to the disposition of our federally regulated BC Field Services business. 3 The accumulated benefit obligation for our Canadian pension plans was $4.5 billion and $4.0 billion as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for our US pension plans was $1.2 billion as at December 31, 2020 and 2019. 4 Assets in the amount of $11 million (2019 - $10 million) and $59 million (2019 - $51 million), related to our Canadian and US non-registered supplemental pension plan obligations, are held in grantor trusts and rabbi trusts that, in accordance with federal tax regulations, are not restricted from creditors. These assets are committed for the future settlement of benefit obligations included in the underfunded status as at the end of the year, however they are excluded from plan assets for accounting purposes. For these plans, the projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets were as follows:
