Will the Minister focus on how we press for investment in jobs such as jobs in the care area, including ecological care, which will be both job-intensive and facilitate a just transition? Will the Minister comment on that?
A mandate for procurement was mentioned. Is it the intention to have technical specifications around the kinds of cement or other materials, or is it the intention to have criteria attached when it comes to the awarding of public procurement? What are the tools through public procurement, in terms of mandatory tools, that will require these kinds of shifts in material usage that were indicated by the Minister?
