I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that last year we resolved some claims regarding indigenous children who had been improperly placed in foster care and hadn't received the services to which they would have been entitled over multiple previous years. As a result, there was an increase in funding last year to settle these claims. As these claims are not recurring, this has resulted in a decrease for the current year.
