17988 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Has the Government estimated the measurable fuel cost, if any, of delaying implementation of the proposed heavy vehicle regulatory changes since Transporting New Zealand's 24 March 2026 request; if so, what is that cost?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that this cost has not been estimated.
