8754 (2026). Lan Pham to the Minister of Agriculture

8754 (2026). Lan Pham to the Minister of Agriculture: Does the Minister, in his role as Minister for Agriculture, agree with the statement in the Waikato Regional Council's submission on the Wastewater Environmental Performance Standards that "enabling municipal wastewater discharges (point-source discharges) to be less restrictive through the Standards will cause inequality.... non-point source discharges in rural communities such as farms will end up bearing the costs of the decline of water quality by consequently needing to have more stringent conditions to cope with the water quality losses."?

Hon Todd McClay: I refer the Member to the response to WPQ 7720 (2026).
