32010 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Rail: Further to reply 30344 (2026), does a programmed delivery date for each vessel exist within the shipbuilding contract or the programme schedule, and if so, will the Minister release those dates; if not, why not?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: Yes, and no. Rest assured, however, when we are in a position to announce the commencement dates the member will be among the first to know.
