In perspective it is a 4% increase in spending. Like I said, higher than it probably should be, 2% being around inflation would be a much better target as that would be the same as maintaining spending. The big increases is a 39% increase in spending for Economic Development and Trade, a 12% increase in Labour and a 700% increase for the Status of Women. The largest since number, 500M is health but still only equates to an increase of 3% in spending.

So they are increasing operational spending, in areas that help Economic development and keeping people healthy. Seems like a prudent place for spending.
