Corrigendum  
 
 
 The following submission, dated 24 June 2008, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Canada .  The corrigendum concerns the notification regarding domestic support 
commitments ( Table DS:1  and the relevant Supporting Tables) for 2000 . 
 
_______________ 
 
  The data on value of production in column 5 of Supporting Table DS:4 and accordingly the 
figures in column 6 ('Current total AMS as a percentage  of value of production') have been revised as 
indicated in the table below.  The complete Suppor ting Table DS:4 inclusive of the above-mentioned  
revised data is reproduced at the end of the document.

Non-Product-Specific AMS (from 
Supporting Table DS:9) 32,986.6  3.7% de minimis  
 
Notes:  
1) Value of production for most products is equal to total ma rket receipts (source: Statistic s Canada "Farm Cash Receipts, 
Agriculture Economic Statistics", catalogue 21-011-XIE, Vol.  2, No. 1, table "Farm Cash Receipts – Agriculture 
Economic Statistics - 2000", update May 2003) plus price-re lated direct payments from Supporting Table DS:6.  For 
most grains and oilseeds, value of production is equal to production multiplied by price (source for production: 
Statistics Canada CANSIM Table 001-0010, November 2007; source for price:  based on Statistics Canada Farm Cash 
Receipt prices) plus price -related direct payments from Supporting Table DS:6.  The de minimis  level is 5%. 
2) Dash indicates nil; 0.0 indicates a small amount rounded to 0.0. 
3) Totals may not add due to rounding.
