According to the Library of Parliament briefing notes, the Main Estimates total $3.397 billion, which represents an increase of only $3 million for fiscal year 2009-2010. In light of the situation in Afghanistan and the likelihood of an influx of new patients, similar to what occurred during the conflicts in Bosnia and the Gulf, and in view of the opening of 10 new clinics to treat post-traumatic stress syndrome, the $3 million increase provided for in the 2009-2010 budget doesn't seem like much.
