agricultural inputs to production (such as machinery, fertilizer, seed, chemicals, and livestock) are exempt from the E&H Tax, the
E&H Tax continues to be levied on certain construction materials and equipment for all agricultural products that could be used
for both agricultural and non-agricultural purposes. Although the LHFIP created an exemption from the E&H Tax for livestock
and horticultural producers, the tax on these types of construction materials is apparently still levied on other agricultural
producers not related to livestock and horticulture production. Thus, even if the programs were integrally linked, because the
legislation administering these programs expressly makes them available to only certain industries, they would still be specific.
Therefore, any determination on the integral linkage of these programs is not necessary.

Summary 

The total net countervailable subsidy rate for all producers or exporters of live cattle in Canada is 0.77 percent, ad valorem,
which is de minimis. Therefore, we determine that countervailable subsidies are not being provided to producers or exporters of
live cattle in Canada.
