4002 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Revenue: Does he agree with the Prime Minister’s statement “We do not expect ECE providers to increase their costs and to increase their prices, because we actually also will have, for the first time, a lot of data that we'll be collecting to be able to monitor ECE charges and prices”, and if so, for what period does the he expect that early childhood providers will not increase their fees?

Hon Simon Watts: Yes, I agree with the Prime Minister's statement, which was in reference to fees being raised as a direct result of family boost, not in reference to a specific period of time where no fees increases would occur.
