45442 (2025). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Pacific Peoples: Does he support an independent Ministry for Pacific Peoples, outside of the structure of any other Department or Ministry, if not, why not?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: The Public Service Commissioner has been looking at the whole of the Public Service in terms of the potential to group or reconfigure the current agencies in a way that will set them up for the future. No decisions have been made yet.
