Total Planned Spending — Explanation of Trend
The planned spending over the three year period is diminishing mainly because of a decrease in targeted funding (e.g. payment to the Quebec Cree to settle implementation issues respecting the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and related litigation; funding provided in Budget 2005 for First Nations housing and related infrastructure; funding provided in Budget 2005 for the Mackenzie Gas Project; funding provided in Budget 2004 for the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan; funding provided in Budget 2004 for Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development; funding provided in Budget 2003 for the First Nations Water Management Strategy), and the funding profile for Budget 2008 announcements not extended beyond 2009–10, offset by incremental funding provided to meet the demand for ongoing Indian and Inuit programs and services.
