I'd be pleased to do so.
With respect to the Beyond the Border team, I will refresh your memory: the Privy Council Office sought $1.3 million in the 2012-13 supplementary estimates (B), and we're seeking $0.9 million for this year and another $0.9 million for fiscal year 2014-15, for a total amount of $3.1 million, or $3.4 million, if you consider EBP. That money is going to be used for salaries, professional services, and travel.
There is a decrease in the funding this year. That's explained by the nature of the work and the support required. The first year of this work was a very big year for the team, because they had to get all of their proposals developed to implement the action plan and put through the approval processes—cabinet committee, cabinet, and agents of Parliament—for instance, conversations with the Privacy Commissioner around the privacy principles that were developed. They also had to do all the coordination with the American counterparts.
They've made tremendous progress on that. That progress is detailed in the December 2012 update, which is available online. This year, the decrease in funding is explained by a bit of a reduction in the workload. They got a small reduction in salary and consequential corporate costs and accommodation charges to reflect the change in the nature of the work, so I've talked about what they had to do that first year. This year there's going to be a need for ongoing coordination with the United States.
The focus for the Privy Council Office this year is going to be on supporting the lead departments in implementing the measures that have now received approvals. Also, as a result, travel costs will go down, partly because a lot of work got done this past year, but also because we're going to be using video conferencing facilities more efficiently.
