We made no contributions to fund our defined benefit pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. We made contributions of $2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We may, at our discretion, voluntarily contribute from zero to $10 million to our defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of 2015. Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in the United States and Canada are based on several factors that may vary from year to year. Thus, past contributions are not always indicative of future contributions.
