17969 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Regulation: Does he consider a 34-day period between an industry body's formal request for urgent regulatory amendments and the Government's announcement that it is "refining" options to be consistent with the Government's commitment to reducing unnecessary regulatory delays?

Hon David Seymour: It can be, depending on the size and complexity of the problem.
