Again, to clarify, that is a fund separate and apart from the salaries and budgets of the various posts and the work they do. The integrated trade strategic fund is, across sectors, a competitive fund. There is another fund within the Department of Foreign Affairs called the client service fund. Money is directed toward our posts abroad to support specific project initiatives. Both of those funds are project-based, as opposed to the ongoing good work of the various posts and missions.
