Mr. Garret Doocey:
What I said is that the funding allocations regarding specific projects are at a TII level but it can only make allocations within overall envelope available. Likewise, the Department can only allocate funding between programmes within the overall envelope available to us, which is always constrained. As Mr. Spratt stated, even with this NDP and the significant increases allocated to this Department, there is still a huge amount of unallocated funds that we did seek but simply will not have over the next five years. There will, though, be significant progress on the road, rail and public transport networks.
