The crux of my question was that in order to give better parliamentary oversight, given that so much money is still left unspent, could not this have come through supplementary estimates to give us, as a parliamentary body, the chance to have better oversight, rather than approving a $7-billion fund for your department to spend as necessary? It seems to me that they could have been introduced right here and now for us to actually have a look at the needs of each department and then to approve them on each line item.
