Is the CIF impressed with or concerned about how many projects the Government has given the green light to? We are Deputies. I constantly go on social media pointing out that this is great. However, I hear people back home asking whether, although all these projects are being announced, the country has the capacity to build them. It is one thing for politicians to announce them, but they need to get built. Given the material and labour costs and with the number of projects coming down the track, which shows great ambition in this country, is the CIF concerned we may not have the workforce to complete it all? I ask that question in a positive sense. I hope the answer will not be too negative. It is important to hear from the horse's mouth today.
