No, but your point is well taken. That leads to something I did not discuss in my testimony, and that is that whether you have a consolidated budget or not, major infrastructure projects roll across two or more or sometimes even more than five fiscal years. One of the problems we have identified in advanced countries is that they are quite capable of undertaking short-term infrastructure projects, projects that can be completed within a year or two. But beyond that point, there's another parliament, another set of estimates, another appropriations act, etc., and you have stop/go financing, which adds to costs and diminishes results.
Even more important is to make sure that Parliament and government have the capacity to consider, vote on, and finance long-term, major infrastructure.
