Thank you for your question.
Last year, we did indeed see an increase of $200 million.
In this case, it has to do with departments' requirements related to parental and maternity allowances. It's hard to know at the beginning of the year how much the parental leave taken by employees is going to cost the government. We follow up with departments on a regular basis to make sure we have enough money because the Treasury Board reimburses each department for those costs. Once the money is reimbursed, all the information is available on our website for each department.
