I would like to reiterate the importance of this. You are correct that no money has gone missing. At the end of March 2005, all costs had been recorded, but in our parliamentary system it is fundamental that Parliament votes and authorizes spending to government, and government should not spend more money than has been authorized by Parliament. The whole maintenance of expenditures as compared to appropriations is an absolutely essential function of government.
If government believes spending is going to exceed an appropriation, it is incumbent upon it to come back to Parliament and ask for additional authority to spend through the supplementary estimates process.
