NOTIFICATION 
 
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 1996 . 
 
_______________ 
 
  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.

Wheat and durum 5,092.6  2.0% de minimis  
Barley 2,003.1  1.7% de minimis  
Oats 580.4  1.9% de minimis  
Corn 1,200.1  0.9% de minimis  
Canola 1,951.5  0.1% de minimis

Non-Product-Specific AMS (from 
Supporting Table DS:9) 30,221.1  2.6% de minimis  
 
Notes:  
1) Value of production for most products is equal to total market receipts (source: St atistics Canada "Agriculture 
Economic Statistics", catalogue 21-603, upda te June 1998) plus price-related di rect payments from Supporting Table 
DS:6.  For most grains and oilseeds, value of producti on is equal to production multiplied by price (source for 
production: Statistics Canada CANSIM Ta ble 001-0010, November 2007; source for price: based on Statistics Canada 
Farm Cash Receipt prices) plus price-related di rect payments from Supporting Table DS:6.  The de minimis level is 
5%. 
2) Totals may not add due to rounding.
