Thank you for the question, Mr. Chair.
I think it's important to look at what could constitute a countervail measure. I think in that context, and in looking at the WTO agreement on subsidies and countervailing measures, one first has to ask the question as to whether implicit within that there is a subsidy that is realized that is providing a benefit to the sector. Then you ask the question as to whether the benefit is specific to elements or parts of the sector, whether it's limited in law or a generally available program that's limited in use, and there are various criteria that are used to determine whether or not the benefit is specific.
I should also mention that a third element could be the determination as to whether certain sectors are disproportionately benefiting from a particular program.
In general, these are the questions and criteria that are used by various countries and industries in determining whether or not a situation exists where a countervail measure or action could be taken.
