I refer to construction issues. The witnesses have touched on workforce issues being key and stated that the live register has been exhausted. The industry is now looking beyond that. From a budgetary oversight perspective, we are heading into the next budget. The summer recess will take place shortly and when we come back we will be fully into the discussions on budget 2020. What are the witnesses' key asks for us to consider in respect of that budget? I refer to addressing the workforce issue but also to the cost of building.
