Using the aggregate measure of support, or AMS, as it's called—and that's what Canada can spend to basically stay in the amber box for support in agriculture under WTO—it's estimated at about $4.5 billion. According to some witnesses, Canada spends about $2 billion. Can you confirm how much money is actually spent under the AMS? And with that, could you maybe explain why the available wiggle room, if there is any available, is not used more to support agriculture?
