Explanation of change: Planned spending for 2008–2009 rises by $153M over the previous year, because of increased funding for settlement services across Canada. It continues to rise in 2009–2010 and stabilizes in 2010-2011 except for the grant for the Canada-Quebec Accord which is adjusted annually based on escalation factors related to net federal expenditures and non-Francophone landing.
