Anyway, Mr. Wouters, if this type of situation arose under your leadership, where it was obvious that the estimates had been exceeded and a simple legal opinion said that, would you go and find yourself another legal opinion to substantiate your position, or would you bring it to Parliament's attention and say you needed more money because the money had been spent? Unlike what Mr. Moloney was saying, that most departments don't spend until it's approved, in this case it had been spent without approval. What would you do in this situation?
