Thank you for your question.
The guidelines in the program require that each applicant report on their success at the time they make the claims for the expenses they've incurred, and they can do that sequentially. For example, they can include one trip to a market where they've been approved for four trips. They can claim it at that time. We would expect some reporting on each occasion they claim. We feel that this is an occasion for them to provide an update about people they may have met, such as a potential partner.
As I mentioned in the presentation, we get informal feedback. We're in good contact with many of our applicants and have developed a relationship such that they tell us as they go. More formally, at the conclusion of their project, and at one-year and three-year intervals following that conclusion, we receive a more structured report from them. At that time we determine whether in fact exports have been achieved as a result of their activities.
Quite frankly, we're a long way from seeing what the financial return is on this program, but we have several precedent programs, so we're fairly confident it will be positive.
