26490 (2023). Lan Pham to the Minister for the Environment: Does the Minister accept the findings of the Our Land and Water research which shows that required nitrogen load reduction in Canterbury is 44% and in Southland 41%?

Hon Penny Simmonds: I accept the Our Land and Water research findings about reductions in nitrogen that would be required in Canterbury and Southland to meet the targets that it used, given the assumptions that were made for this modelling exercise.
