To be clear, these are projects that would not have people working on them right now, but because of this they now have people working on them?

To be honest, I understand the concept of vote 35 being bridging, and I understand all that. But my very strong suspicion is that if indeed there are people working on these projects, these people would already have been at work, and we're not actually seeing incremental employment, which is the reason why we supported vote 35.

I understand the concept of the bridging, but I'm still not hearing that we're seeing an actual increase in jobs as a result of this at this point in time.
