In their own words

Will there be a doctor, a hospital, and care when we need it?

Argues restricting who can work on public projects drives cost overruns amid labour shortages
Wants contracts open to every qualified worker and contractor

“Here's the simple question: if labour shortages are driving cost overruns, why would government limit who can work on public projects? Public infrastructure belongs to all of us. The opportunity to build it should be open to every qualified worker and contractor.”
