Mr. Speaker, the main reasons for the increases are $800 million for employment insurance benefits, $900 million for the Canada health and social transfer and $800 million for equalization payments.

These are the increases that we are putting into the budget this year in the estimates. They are there to serve the needs of Canadians.
