We certainly recommend that anything that you, yourself, haven't paid for before or hasn't been paid for by the federal government is part of sponsored travel. It may be half a trip, a quarter of a trip, a trip--whatever.
What we're not sure about is how the committee would like us to treat what I call indirect sponsorship by the federal government. The federal government, let's say, supports some NGO. The NGO sponsors your travel. How should we treat that? I think there are arguments for treating that as if it were federally funded in the first instance. We need to discuss how to make sure we're on the same wavelength.
