Amended Answers to Oral Questions — Question No. 9 to Minister
I seek leave to make a personal explanation to correct an answer I gave on behalf of the Minister of Energy and Resources to question No. 9 earlier today.
ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.
Thank you, Madam Assistant Speaker. On behalf of the Minister of Energy and Resources earlier today, I said that I spoke to Methanex before the announcement on Thursday, 12 April 2018. In fact, I should have said that officials spoke to Methanex on my behalf before the announcement. My first meeting—that is to say, as Minister of Energy and Resources—with Methanex was on Monday, 23 April 2018, although I do note that my colleague the Hon Andrew Little met with Methanex at his meeting in New Plymouth on the evening of Thursday, 12 April 2018.
Thank you.
