I thank the Minister for that update. We are all acutely aware of how important capital projects are for the infrastructure deficit that we have in so many aspects of our daily life, as well as in different areas across the country. It is for that reason that I thought it was important to ask this question and to get that level of update. Not only will capital projects assist in any infrastructural deficit, they are also important for the creation of good jobs for people across the area and indeed in rural and more isolated areas who may not may not have had the same opportunities. I welcome what the Minister said. It is important that we do everything in our power at all times to ensure that these projects are delivered on time.
