The case for travel and hospitality funds

By Paul=20 Heinbecker

When, in 2009, cumulative core = budget cuts=20 forced, among other things, a freeze in the travel and hospitality = funds=20 of Canadian embassies, seriously handicapping our representatives = abroad,=20 official Ottawa shrugged.=20

No one came to the defence of the department that Ottawa, = especially=20 the PMO, loves to hate. So the "dips" had to stick to their desks. = So=20 what? No one, or almost no one in Ottawa, has access to = hospitality funds.=20 Why should the effete foreign service?=20

But travel and hospitality funds are the diplomatic equivalent = of=20 military force multipliers, like helicopters and satellite=20 communications=97and they cost a lot less. The entire hospitality = budget for=20 Foreign Affairs, $13.5 million, is less than the cost of = purchasing and=20 servicing one executive jet, of which DND has five in its fleet of = aircraft.=20

These funds make our diplomats, our trade commissioners and = even our=20 consular officers abroad a lot more effective=97for Canadians.=20

Canadian diplomats need local travel funds so they can get = around their=20 countries of accreditation, understand first-hand how Canadian = interests=20 are affected, and build relationships designed to protect and = advance=20 those interests.=20

For example, I arrived in Germany as ambassador shortly after = the=20 Berlin Wall came down and made it my business to travel in the = former East=20 Germany in order to understand what the collapse of communism = meant for=20 Germany, for international security and for Canada. I also = promoted=20 investment by Canadian firms in the economically bereft East where = opportunities abounded.=20

Elsewhere in Germany, I used travel funds to meet with bankers, = business leaders, media organizations, environmental groups and = academics=20 to promote investment in Canada, defend Canada's environmental=20 record=97notably on forestry and seals=97while rallying support = for our side=20 in the Canada-EU "Cod War" and encouraging studies of Canada at = German=20 universities. I also promoted Canadian arts and science, in part = to=20 demonstrate to influential Germans that Canada needed to be taken=20 seriously.=20

I could have sat at my desk day in and day out and drawn the = same pay,=20 but that simply would not have advanced Canada's interests.=20

Similarly, representational funds are crucial, despite the = controversy=20 and resentments they trigger back home.=20

Happy throngs of official Ottawa are delighted to attend the = Fourth of=20 July receptions at the US Embassy, for example, or the Queen's = Birthday=20 reception or Bastille Day.=20

Yet many of these same party-goers seem unable to fathom why = Canadian=20 diplomats likewise need funds to establish contacts and cultivate=20 relationships abroad.=20

The purpose of the "representational" funds is to develop a = range of=20 contacts and relationships that can be used to advance Canadian = interests=20 when the need arises. They are not for entertaining the neighbours = or=20 having relatives over at Christmas.=20

Unlike public servants in Ottawa, diplomats abroad do not have = a=20 lifetime to get to know the people they need to know in order to = do their=20 jobs effectively. Host country citizens, it should be stressed, = are under=20 no obligation to care about Canadian interests, or to be helpful.=20

Further, to promote or protect Canadian interests, it is not = enough=97and=20 has not been enough for a hundred years=97to talk to the Canada = desk in the=20 foreign ministry or State Department.=20

Canadian representatives need to be plugged into host country = circles=20 of influence, government, industry and civil society. When a = problem or=20 opportunity is at hand, it is too late to start identifying = potential=20 allies.=20

The most cost-effective way of cultivating relationships is = official=20 hospitality, especially in-home hospitality where the recipient = gets a=20 literal and figurative taste of Canada. It is even more effective = if the=20 diplomat's spouse acts as an unpaid event planner, dinner host,=20 information gatherer and relationship-builder, all the while = enduring=20 deprecation from critics for not getting a life or having a = career. By the=20 way, there is no salary or pension for spouses working on what, in = Canada,=20 would be private time.

Hospitality is an integral part of representing the country. In = New=20 York as ambassador to the UN, I averaged something like 300 events = a year,=20 every single one with a business purpose. That meant about 150 = evenings a=20 year devoted to government business=97after a full day of work.=20

When the time came to advise Ottawa on the looming catastrophe = of the=20 Iraq war or to influence the general UN membership to protect the=20 International Criminal Court from the predations of the Bush=20 administration, I drew on the contacts I had made. My predecessor = Bob=20 Fowler and the current ambassador John McNee have done likewise, = for=20 example, to secure votes for Canada for a seat on the UN Security = Council,=20 among many other things. For foreign service personnel, the = evening work,=20 i.e. dinners, receptions, etc., are integral to getting their jobs = done=20 effectively.=20

Former ambassador to Washington Allan Gotlieb made = extraordinary use of=20 his hospitality funds. It was not unusual to see two or three = Cabinet=20 secretaries, heads of agencies like the Environmental Protection = Agency,=20 State Department leadership, White House officers, senators and = members of=20 the House of Representatives, corporate leaders, media = heavyweights and so=20 on at his events.=20

This range of contacts was indispensable in promoting Canadian=20 interests in the US Congress. For example, the US Senate Finance = Committee=20 authorized free trade negotiations with Canada on a 10-10 vote, = with the=20 chairman, whose vote broke the tie, and other members of the = committee=20 among the many the embassy had cultivated). As Gotlieb observed = recently=20 on the suspension of hospitality funding by DFAIT: "If you don't = have=20 entertainment allowances, you're a dead duck, frankly."=20

A Canadian ambassador abroad is one part journalist, one part = analyst,=20 one part office manager, one part psychologist, one part = restaurateur, one=20 part advocate and one part flag-pole. In Ken Taylor's case in = Iran, he was=20 apparently also one part spy. There is nothing "nine-to-five" = about it.=20

Or there didn't used to be. Regrettably, removing the force = multipliers=20 of travel and hospitality funds becomes a vicious circle. The less = effective embassies become and the more their utility shrinks, the = less=20 persuasive the case for funding them. And the less they are = funded, the=20 less effective and useful they become. Then the government can = sell off=20 embassy property and move to the 'burbs, as is happening in = Stockholm.=20 Next you can get rid of the foreign service altogether. Perhaps = that is=20 the real agenda.=20

Paul Heinbecker served as Canadian ambassador to the UN and = Germany=20 and was chief foreign policy adviser to prime minister Brian = Mulroney. He=20 is a distinguished fellow at the Centre for International = Governance=20 Innovation and inaugural director of the Centre for Global = Relations at=20 Wilfrid Laurier University. His new book Canada's Coming = Golden Age=20 will be published in October.=20
