That line item is as you mentioned, Mr. Richards. It is to allow us to participate internationally in a number of fora. Some examples would be the International Grains Council, which deals in trade in wheat, maize, and rice. It is important for us to be at those tables. There is also the International Agriculture Trade Research Consortium. CABI deals with agricultural biosciences, institutes of food security, biodiversity, and supporting farmers. There are a number of other organizations, such as the FAO, in which we participate. We feel it's important that we as a country be at those tables to participate in these discussions.
