That's a significant change from the way we've done parliamentary approval for funding up to now. Up to now, parliamentarians had access to those answers, if they asked those questions, because those answers existed. Now we're talking about a process whereby that due diligence has not been done, so parliamentarians do not get the benefit of that rigorous costing and the answers to those questions, and are being asked to vote approval notionally for the program and let the government figure out later what those important details are going to be. There is no opportunity for this kind of scrutiny after the fact. You're going to table the receipts. You're going to tell us, maybe, how the money was spent, but there's no opportunity for parliamentarians then to interrogate that.
