3984 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Finance

3984 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Finance: Does she agree with the Prime Minister’s statement “So look, the reaction I've had from ECE providers is they are very excited about the prospect of getting money directly into their parents' bank accounts and actually supporting them to do that, and we don't expect them to raise prices at all”, and if so, what correspondence has she received on this by author and date?

Hon Nicola Willis: Yes. I received a text message from the Chief Executive of Best Start Educare about this on 25 March 2024.
