Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry
Mr. Tom Parlon:
To clarify, I did not make that suggestion with regard to the children's hospital. That will be subject to many negotiations. The Deputy mentioned the hospital but I referred to complex sites that will involve a great deal of fitting out. I am sure the children's hospital will fit into that category. Some of our industry professionals have suggested the increase in cost for such projects could be as high as 40%. I am sure that is negotiable. That will all be worked out. The Deputy can laugh but unfortunately-----
