Grants and Contributions expenses increased by $81.9 million (3.5%) in 2010 compared to 2009. The increase is primarily due to the continued uptake of programs such as Disability Awards and Earnings Loss under the New Veterans Charter. Expenses for the Veterans Independence Program also increased due to increased eligibility for primary caregivers and low-income or disabled survivors. These increases were partially offset by decreased expenses for disability pensions and war veterans allowances due to declining numbers of Veterans and other clients.
Expenses for health related services such as operational stress injury clinics and treatment benefits increased by $8.4 million due to increased client demand. Expenses for career transition and rehabilitation under the New Veterans Charter increased by $5.4 million.
There was a decrease of $12.4 million in ex-gratia expenses related to the use of Agent Orange at CFB Gagetown in 2010 compared to 2009 due to the wind down of the program. As well, departmental operating expenses decreased by $17.7 million primarily due to reduced employee pay and benefit costs as well as internal restraint measures.

[1] Commencing in the 2009–10 Estimates cycle, the resources for the Internal Services program activity are displayed separately from other program activities; they are no longer distributed among the remaining program activities, as was the case in previous Main Estimates. This has affected the comparability of spending and FTE information by program activity between fiscal years.

[3] The term statistically significant describes a mathematical measure of difference between groups. The difference is said to be statistically significant if it is greater than what might be expected to happen by chance alone.
