28307 (2023). Hon Rachel Brooking to the Minister of Climate Change: Does the Minister intend to “investigate phasing-in of ETS credits for wood processors based on the embedded carbon captured in longer-life timber products” as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Forests for a Strong Economy’ document, and if so, what advice, reports, briefings, aides-memoire, or any other documents has the Minister, or any member of their Office commissioned on this by title and date?

Hon Simon Watts: I am not responsible for a political party’s manifesto. I intend to progress the priorities outlined in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition agreements that are relevant to my portfolio. I have not commissioned advice from officials on this topic during the timeframe specified.
