Urgency

I move, That urgency be accorded the first and second readings and committee stage of the New Zealand Productivity Commission Act Repeal Bill.

The Government is moving urgency this evening so that we can pass through the necessary stages of the New Zealand Productivity Commission Act Repeal Bill, which will allow the House to pass the first, second, and committee stage of this bill this week. The Government’s priority in this urgency motion is to pass this bill to disestablish the New Zealand Productivity Commission as part of our 100-day plan in order to use the resources freed up to improve the quality of regulation through the establishment of a ministry for regulation.
