Chris Bishop, National's Infrastructure spokesman, stated that the Fast-track scheme has delivered thousands of new construction sector jobs. He noted that 37 approved projects are expected to support around 70,000 jobs. However, Labour's spokesperson stated that their policy is still to scrap 19 of these projects, which would impact around 50,000 jobs.
