I'll do my best. We're getting into fairly technical territory here.
At the time, we were renewing our entire settlement programs funding arrangements, not just for Syrian refugees but for everyone. Those agreements had already been renewed for an additional year because of the election cycle, so we were in that process. Our increased, but not infinite, number of staff were renewing 700 agreements.
Then we received information that we would have supplemental funding re-profiled for Syria. That required the amendment of many of those 700 agreements, which we were in the process of renewing. We had to make a management decision as to whether or not to continue down the path and get the 700 renewals done, or interrupt it in order to do the amendments at the same time.
We took the management decision to not put the 700 renewals at any risk and to make sure we got them all done, with money in the organizations for the start of the fiscal year on April 1.
That meant that we had to say to many organizations, “You will receive additional Syria money. It will not be in your bank account on April 1, and we cannot tell you definitively how much or exactly on what date you will have it.”
This is my understanding. If we have to correct any details, we will correct them.
We made a management risk decision. Most organizations said, “We understand. We're going to get an additional x hundred thousand dollars, and it will come during the fiscal year. We will do the programming. We will spend the money.” A small number decided not to, and they waited until we could do formal financial initiation.
