So no minister could decide unilaterally that he was now going to build a new program to print golf balls for different members of Parliament, with their names and pictures on them, and distribute them to different members of Parliament, and say he was now going to use a portion of the money for that. Is my understanding correct? There's no way something like that could happen because there is no initiative within the budget to do something like that.
