Thank you, Mr Speaker. Last but not least. Iβm proud to stand in support of the Fast-track Approvals Bill brought to the House by Minister Bishop. This is a one-stop shop approvals regime which can provide approvals required under multiple legislation. This bill will help those who wish to build in New Zealand do more in a streamlined and efficient manner, while keeping the common-sense provisions and protections associated with a typical consenting regime. We are determined to cut through the red and green tape holding New Zealand back.
There is so much we could say, but instead of talking, this side of the Government is about action and delivery. So Iβm going to fast track this speech, and Iβd like to commend the bill to the House.
