Okay. These are very good questions. The parallel agreement means that we have a common program or project, we're putting both our resources on the table, and we have mechanisms to track this, but the money is not blended.
The Tim Hortons case I brought up in my presentation is quite simple. Tim Hortons came to IDRC and said, “We have a challenge with our coffee crop in Colombia both in quality and in quantity, and we think that it's related to climate change.” IDRC said, “We have programs that we have been funding with two universities that could help you.” We are funding the research for new farming techniques, new crops of coffee, new processes in light of climate change adaptation, and we're pushing this to the co-op farmers association of Colombia of coffee farmers.
Tim Hortons is bringing its resources to the co-op in order to enhance their ability to seize the opportunity of the research.
There's nothing more difficult than to change the habit of a farmer. You know this. If he loses his crop, he loses his revenue and he's in a dramatic situation. Through this enhancement and push from the coffee buyers, Tim Hortons, the farmer has an opportunity to say if Tim Hortons is pushing us to take this technology, and this technology has been validated to be effective, we have a better chance to improve our supply, improve quality, and increase the revenue of the farmer in Colombia.
