Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, everyone.
Perhaps I will start with Madam Cheng on this issue about voting and how we look at what exactly we're voting for, whether it be a capital expenditure or an operation expenditure. You pointed out that there are weaknesses in the system in the sense that quite often capital expenditure is actually in a vote that's not a capital expenditure; it's locked into it.
As parliamentarians, one of the things we do is not only collect folks' money, but we actually spend it, and the only way to do that is to vote on the expenditure. If we don't know what the expenditure is for, in the sense of its being in an operational line when it turns out to be a capital line, are we really being well.... I shouldn't use the word “advised”, but are we at least being well looked after in the sense of understanding what we're voting for if it's hidden in somewhere else?
On the other side of it, when money gets transferred that's been approved in a vote at a capital expenditure and ends up elsewhere, is there a mechanism you would see that helps us understand that it moved, other than trying to find it on page whatever in section whatever of volume III? Ultimately we voted for something, and not knowing where it ended up makes it extremely difficult to understand that it went somewhere else.
