It depends on how you define quality. I think experts will not necessarily agree on how to define quality.
When we talk about emphasizing the importance of, say, investing in the economic future of the country, I think it's a good idea to emphasize forms of spending that go in that direction, but the proof is in the pudding. Sometimes we can define something as an investment, but we don't know yet whether it will actually be good in the end and whether it will actually generate returns the way the government might anticipate.
It's important to not just look at the budget, but monitor over time how these investments are actually working on the ground and whether they have worked in the future—three, five or 10 years down the road. It's not just about the budget itself. We should evaluate the effectiveness of the measures and the investments we make over time in a systematic way. We don't always do that.
