18094 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Associate Minister of Transport: If the Minister or his officials have not sought an explanation from Starboard Maritime Intelligence as to why venture capital firm Soul Capital exited its investment citing a values misalignment, why has no explanation been sought, given that Starboard holds the all-of-government Data Fusion System contract for maritime security?

Hon James Meager: This is a commercial matter between Soul Capital and Starboard.
