text: (cid:129)*IAS 19, Employee Benefits (2011) (IAS 19) –*On January 1, 2013, we 
  adopted IAS 19, which changes the basis for determining the income 
  or expense related to defined benefit plans. This amendment 
  eliminated the concept of return on plan assets and interest cost 
  (income) and replaced it with a net interest cost that is calculated by 
  applying the discount rate to the net liability (asset). The net interest 
  cost takes into account any changes in the net defined benefit 
  liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and 
  benefit payments. The adoption of the amended standard resulted in 
  an increase in finance costs of $7 million and a decrease in other 
  comprehensive income, for a net effect of nil 
  in comprehensive 
  income for the year ended December 31, 2012 and did not have a 
  material impact on net assets as at December 31, 2012. See note 22 
  of the annual consolidated financial statements for more information 
  about our pension plans. 
  
  We have entered into certain transactions with companies, the partners 
  or senior officers of which are Directors of Rogers and/or our subsidiary 
  companies. Total amounts paid to these related parties, directly or 
  indirectly, were as follows:
