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:
We do not believe they are reflected. My understanding is that the Minister for housing stated that there are 190,000 working in the industry. That is up on last year when it was 174,000. The industry has demonstrated that when it has a clear line of sight with work and certainty and confidence, it can attract the talent to come in and deliver because it can commit the resources to it. Right now, there is no certainty. It is too unpredictable. The whole system is not offering that stable pipeline of certainty for businesses to invest in. My colleagues are probably better-----
