Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
Role of Private Sector Construction Industry in Delivering High-Quality National Infrastructure: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Paul Sheridan:
The ESRI produced a statement. Where that 80,000 has come from has actually been in the media for about five years. It constantly gets churned out because when you employ consultants they do the research and come out with the same reports. The Department responsible for further education and skills will look at the industry as a whole and decide how much is needed.
What we are saying is that the valid models should look at the industry in segments.
