Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for the question, Ms. James.
It's less than usual. One of the reasons we rescoped the interim federal health program is that every year the cost of it was growing much beyond the budgeted resources. Typically in the past few years the budget would include a $50 million allocation for the IFHP, but towards the end of the year or mid-year we would find the demand was far exceeding the available funds, and we would often have to come back to Parliament for supplementary estimates in the range of $25 million. Typically we're spending $75 million. That's going up to $80 million. We projected that without changing the program we would be moving up to a $100 million expenditure in the program.
What you see in this, I think, $5 million increment is reflective of the fact that we're going to be spending more than the $50 million budgeted, but it's still a lot less than the $80 million we spent last year for example.
Amipal, would you care to supplement that?
