I think there are two things that have driven the budget. Certainly there have been new programs. As I noted in my opening comments, Mr. Chair, there were changes to the permanent impairment allowance, and so on. There's a minimum threshold for injured veterans. Also, we have seen an increase in Canadian Forces veterans coming forward. As I said earlier, and I repeat, these are statutory, so whether one more veteran comes forward or 10,000 come forward, the money is there to make sure they receive the services and benefits they should receive.
