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 1999 . 
 
_______________ 
 
  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 pe rcentage of value of production') of Supporting 
Table DS:4 and column 3 ('Current Total AMS') of Ta ble DS:1 have been revised as indicated in the 
tables below.  The complete Table DS:1 and the Supporting Table DS:4 inclusive of the above-
mentioned revised data are reprodu ced at the end of the document.

1)    Value of production for most products is equal to total ma rket receipts (total crops plus  livestock: sour ce: Statistics 
Canada "Agriculture Economic Statistics", catalogue 21-603,  table "Farm Cash Receipts  from Farming Operations – 
1999", update November 2001) plus price-re lated direct payments from Supporting Table DS:6.  For most grains and 
oilseeds, value of production is equal to production multip lied by price (source for production: Statistics Canada 
CANSIM Table 001-0010, November 2007;  source for price:  based on Statistics Canada Fa rm Cash Receipt prices) 
plus price-related dire ct 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.
