Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Justice): Kia ora, Mr Speaker. Small-business owners from all over New Zealand have been contacting the Government to express that they're feeling the impacts of the recent COVID alert level measures, and it was important for the Government to move quickly so it could deal with the concerns that small-business owners were raising. To ensure the measures we have announced would be effective, the Ministry of Justice met with the likes of the New Zealand Law Society property section to consider the specific legal instruments that have been proposed, and I'm advised that that group represents both landlords and tenants. The ministry also spoke to the Auckland District Law Society to understand the current situation with leases that address the COVID-19 situation. While the majority of businesses have arrived at an arrangement for a fair rent reduction when they are unable to trade because of the pandemic, for those who haven't this could be the difference between staying afloat or not.
