Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: Besides the well-known health, wellbeing, and economic impact of living in a warm, dry, and safe house, the expected economic impacts of the Government's multibillion-dollar build programme are wide reaching. The build programme will support around 4,000 skilled jobs in the field of construction, and that includes 145 first-year apprentices directly through the Kāinga Ora apprenticeship programme. Every dollar invested in the construction industry generates around $2.80 of wider economic activity, meaning investing in construction is one of our most impactful decisions the Government could make to boost our recovery from COVID-19.
