¹ . “Dumping” refers to goods sold by foreign exporters in the Canadian market below their normal selling price.

² . Subsidizing occurs when goods imported into Canada benefit from specific foreign government financial assistance that is not generally available under normal market conditions.

³ . In other Tribunals, such as courts of justice, cases can be put in a queue so as to ensure their orderly, more or less, serial disposition. Although this approach occasionally may delay individual cases, it does effectively and evenly allocate resources. By way of contrast, all cases the Tribunal adjudicates (except for appeals) must be completed within strict statutory deadlines, without possibility of extension. Therefore, the Tribunal has no option but to “bunch” the cases up and work on them in parallel. This can place great strain on its members, staff, and other resources.

⁴ . As per February 2007 WTO Trade Policy Review for Canada, available online at http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/tpr_e/tpr_e.htm. 

⁵ . The negative variance in actual spending is due in part to delays in the resourcing of positions. As well, funds were estimated for the completion of one pending general economic inquiry and the possibility of one additional inquiry; however no additional inquiries were initiated.
