Hon Simon Watts: I had no direct correspondence with Infometrics. The Ministry for the Environment corresponded with Infometrics on Computable General Equilibrium modelling related to distributional impacts of the draft second emissions reduction plan, however Infometrics was not requested to provide, and nor did it provide, any advice on policies to mitigate any distributional impacts.
