BUSINESS STATEMENT
Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Leader of the House): Next week, the committee stage of Appropriation (2021/22 Confirmation and Validation) Bill—the annual review debate—will begin with star appearances by the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Agriculture. Legislation to be considered next week will include the remaining stages of the Severe Weather Emergency Recovery Legislation Bill, the first reading of the all-important Integrity Sport and Recreation Bill, the second reading of the Grocery Industry Competition Bill, and the committee stage of the Counter-Terrorism Acts (Designations and Control Orders) Amendment Bill.
The first general debate of the year will take place on Wednesday, which will also be a members’ day. At 5.30 p.m. on that day, the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern will deliver her valedictory statement.
Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): Thank you, Mr Speaker, and I thank the Leader of the House for that very fulsome update on what’s going to happen next week. Can I also point out that Government order of the day No. 5 is in the name of an individual that I think you’ll find is neither a Minister nor responsible at least for that bill.
Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Leader of the House): I note that point, and I’m sure that by the time we get to Government order of the day No. 5 that will have changed.
