As the minister indicated earlier in the morning, the Last Post Fund administers the program of funeral and burial on behalf of the department. With respect to this budget, one of the biggest criticisms had been that the estate exemption, which had been reduced in 1995, was not keeping pace with the growing costs of funeral and burial expenses. This budget has increased the estate exemption from $12,000 to $35,000 in today's dollars and has provided for indexing of it.
For fiscal year 2014-15, some 1,186 veterans' families benefited from the program. It's a significant uptake, and those were folks who were eligible. We believe that with this change in the eligibility criteria, we will continue to see healthy demand for the program and that there will be a lot of veterans' families who will benefit from it.
