Cushla Tangaere-Manuel to the Minister for the Environment: What actions, if any, does the Minister intend to take to “boost wood processing by introducing one-year consents to establish new wood processing facilities, streamlining re-consents, and investigating Emissions Trading Scheme credits for wood processors for embedded carbon in their products”, as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Forests for a Strong Economy’ document?
