Hon Chris Bishop: Details of my Ministerial diary with dates and key attendees for all meetings are proactively published on the Beehive website and can be found at the following link: https://www.beehive.govt.nz/minister/hon-chris-bishop. To avoid a perception of conflict of interest between my personal interests and my responsibilities as Minister of Transport I transferred my responsibilities as Minister of Transport for matters relating to the aviation sector to Hon James Meager. Associate Minister of Transport. This includes air service and alliance agreements, policy development and making of aviation rules and regulations, and oversight of the performance of the civil Aviation Authority including board appointments.
