36309 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction

36309 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction: Does the Minister agree with businessperson Marti Amos who said there is a mental health crisis amongst workers in New Zealand's construction sector?

Hon Simon Watts: I recognise that due to a variety of factors, many in the building and construction sector are doing it tough. That is why it is so important to continue advancing the government's ambitious agenda, which includes restoring the economy to a stable footing and supporting the construction industry. That will ultimately benefit the whole industry by increasing opportunities, reducing complacency and making it easier to grow.
