I thought that would be an absolutely fundamental feature of a project as large and as ambitious as the National Reconstruction Fund. As I said in the address I gave at the start, today, we're looking for well-paid jobs in this sector—high-skilled, well-paid jobs—and I would have thought the wonderful unions, in this country, which have contributed over decades to the creation of those wonderful well-paid jobs would be a very important feature of any board that sets out to be as ambitious as this particular project.
