We would be tremendously supportive of co-operating, collaborating in any way possible. I think what's really important is that it needs to be driven by hard evidence. Most federal infrastructure funding today is delivered based on local priorities, and local governments are obviously best equipped to identify them, but a very small sliver is based on the most significant projects in the country, some of which may skew to certain regions of the country more than others. Although an intake process of local needs is important, we need somebody at the very top to identify on an evidence base the most strategic projects we need.
