I will state my concerns in simplistic terms. My concern is that because we are not spending the NTF, we did not manage to draw down the ESF. Is there anything to that? As I was reading through it and trying to understand, I asked myself the question, is it because we did not adequately spend the National Training Fund? There is the matching allocation here. Is that the issue with ESF or not?
