Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the $830,000 we provide, a lot of that was going to the summit before, directly from us, but our view is that they are leaders, they will make their own decisions. So we give the money to each of the groups on a regional basis. Those who participate in the summit could choose to take that money if they wanted to and pool it to create their own secretariat, rather than us doing it for them. Mr. Chairman, the same way, we wouldn't want the federal government or somebody doing that to us. So we feel we treat them on the same basis as we would expect any government to be treated. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
