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 1997 . 
 
_______________ 
 
  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.

Notes:  
1) Value of production for most products is equal to total market receipts (source: St atistics Canada "Agriculture 
Economic Statistics", ca talogue 21-603, update November 1999) plus pr ice-related direct pa yments from Supporting 
Table DS:6.  For most grains and oilseeds, value of pr oduction is equal to production mu ltiplied by price (source for 
production: Statistics Canada CANSIM  Table 001-0010, November 2007;  sour ce for price:  based on Statistics 
Canada Farm Cash Receipt prices) plus price-relate d direct payments from Supporting Table DS:6.  The de minimis  
level is 5%.
