(i)	These line items for 2016 in the two tables above were negatively impacted by a deferred tax expense of $8.0 related to taxable temporary differences associated with the anticipated repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain of our Chinese subsidiaries, of which $6.0 was realized as a current tax expense in 2017 for withholding tax on dividends paid in 2017.


(ii)	These line items for 2016 in the two tables above were favorably impacted by the reversal of provisions of $34 previously recorded for tax uncertainties related to the resolution of a transfer pricing matter for one of our Canadian subsidiaries.
