is that I heard a minister make this point about 10 or 12 years ago, and it actually struck me as quite a good one.

We were a very poor country until quite recently.

So we don't have the metro of 100 years ago or the light rail of 70 years ago.

We don't have the huge infrastructure projects that went in post-World War II across much of the continent.

So we're dealing with the current issues that everybody else is grappling with.

But we're starting from a historical deficit as well.

Like, does that make it extremely difficult to catch up, to use that phrase?

I mean, like, that's not the purpose of it.

You deliver infrastructure to deliver it for your economy and people.

But is it ever going to be possible to have continental standard infrastructure, do you think, here?

It's a good point.

I was going to ask you, do you see that opportunity being taken?

I can see all the complexity you have to help with.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

You mentioned Metro a couple of times already.

You're part of a consortium bidding for some of the work with MetroLink, is that right?

And what specific works are you bidding for there?

What are the timelines, or do you know the timelines for...

When we talk about infrastructure, I think a lot of people automatically default to transport and we've done quite a lot of that here, but energy and water are obviously huge issues as well.
