One thing that wiggles in my brain for nuclear construction and other capital projects like the over budgeted waste water projects in Vancouver is labour. The quality control expected of labour has gone up immensely. We don't really have enough skilled labour to man these jobs.
How are we going to be able to build the second phase of LNG Canada and also build pipelines and also take care of existing maintenance of various facilities and other major infrastructure projects in the future(including nukes) if we really do not have enough skilled trades to handle these projects and the stringent QC that goes along with it.
It's easy for PP to say that we will build a military base up north but who is gonna build it in a timely matter with considerations of the labour it will take for the actual construction.
Forgive me I'm kinda rambling.
