I can start. Thank you.
I had mentioned that to me shovel-ready has taken on a negative connotation. When we think of infrastructure, as I suggested at the outset, we want to think in a context of long-term productivity enhancement. The challenge of fiscal policy stimulus on the infrastructure side is getting it in place when the economy needs it rather than later when the recovery takes hold.
I think that given our growth outlook we're not terribly worried about that sort of longer-term pressure on the private sector.
I don't think there'll be a challenge with shovel-ready. We've had such an infrastructure deficit built up over decades that I think there are a lot of projects in waiting that are shovel-right, rather than shovel-ready. These are good projects that are ready to go. They'll still take some time to get in place.
I worry about shovel-ready because ready-to-go may not be what's right for the economy and that's the negative connotation of shovel-ready. But I do think we probably have some good projects ready and willing to be funded and put the work in. I'm sure the minister is getting more advice than he needs.
