Dr. Robert Kelly:

As policy stands now, we need to make changes to how we do infrastructure. There is a new national development plan coming and we will have to see what is in there. We do need to make changes. Some have been made in respect of planning but we will have to see how that pans out. A big issue that probably does not get the attention it deserves is productivity in the construction sector.

No matter what we do, we are not going to wish up 100,000 new very skilled tradespeople to build these houses. We will have to think about modern methods of construction, whether prefabrication or otherwise, to actually deliver these houses. If any one of these fails, we will not get to that 50,000 mark.
