Our grants and contributions have remained at around $19 million since 2009. The decrease that you see is because of the variance in the action plan for violence against indigenous women and the plan for women entrepreneurs. The increase in operational funding mainly supports women by strengthening the capacity of Status of Women to expand our regional presence. As you know, we went from having four offices across Canada to 15. Also, we are investing in research and evaluation of gender-based analysis.
