128 (2024). Arena Williams to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: How many workers, if any, whether staff or contractors, lost their jobs in Wellington due to the Government's decision, announced by the Minister of Finance on 11 December 2023, to cancel the Inter-Island Resilient Connection project?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: The Government did not cancel the Inter-Island Resilient Connection project. I am advised that KiwiRail is currently working through staffing implications of the decision to wind down Project iReX on a case-by-case basis in line with contract terms.
