On behalf of our client, we would support a broadening of the coverage, but as long as it does not dilute the focus on the large projects that are on the dashboard.
That MOU would not have been possible without Alex and without the Federal push coming down to tell them, 'You must work together,' and maybe we need stronger.
If this process is not fixed or focused or made better, it would really be not worth speaking about.
Thank you for continuing your focus on this, because the work is not done, and there are billions and billions of dollars of projects that could be built.
