← Amended Answers to Oral Questions — Question No. 9 to Minister, 13 February Oral Questions →
🗣️ Speech Lan Pham (Green Party — List Member)
Time unknown

Point of order, Mr Speaker. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to make a personal explanation correcting a quote in a question I asked last week.

SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.

LAN PHAM: Thank you. Last week, in the House, during oral questions on Thursday, in a supplementary question to question No. 8, I asked the Minister for the Environment: does she stand by her statement that “What we do know is that an environmental problem deferred today can be both an environmental liability and a fiscal risk that will have to be faced in the future.” This quote was mistakenly attributed to the Minister and it should have been attributed to the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, and I apologise again to the Minister for the mistake.

🗣️ Speech Hon Gerry Brownlee (National Party — List Member)
