Yes, thank you.
As highlighted, the core of the supplementary estimates is to support the significant increase we continue to receive in applications from veterans for disability compensation and support. In addition to that, it is also veterans then seeking additional income support and rehabilitation support.
With these estimates here, what we've seen is an increase of over 15,000 veterans applying for disability benefits and programs. These estimates are absolutely critical to providing the ongoing funding and support for veterans to access those programs for disability compensation, income support and rehabilitation. Without the approval of these estimates, we would then not be able to support all veterans who come forward with a need for income support, rehabilitation, or health or disability compensation.
