Delegation of Canada .  The revised notification concerns domestic support commitments 
(Table DS:1  and the relevant Supporting Tables) for 1996 . 
 
_______________ 
  
 Canada is submitting revised agricultural value of  production data to take into account revised 
historical Statistics Canada data first published in November 2008 which modified Canada's value of 
production (VOP) data for 1995 to 2007.  Price-relate d direct payments, previously included in the 
calculation of Canada's agricultural VOP, are no longer included.   
  Canada's Current Total Aggregate Measure ment of Support and Supporting Table DS:4

 Canada reserves the right to identify certain payments as meeting the criteria of Annex 2 of

Notes:       
1) Value of production for most products is equal to total market receipts (source: Statistics Canada "Farm Cash Receipts, Agricul ture Economic Statistics" Catalogue 21-011-X, 
Vol 8, No. 2,  table "Farm Cash Receipts – Agriculture Economic Statistics", November 2009).  For grains and oilseeds, value of  production is equal to production multiplied 
by price (source for production: Statistics Canada CANSIM Table 001-0010, February 2010; source for price: based on Statistics Canada Farm Cash Receipt prices).  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.
