Hon LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise to stand and speak in support of the amendment to the motion that was tabled by the Hon Michael Woodhouse. So instead of disestablishing the Epidemic Response Committee, it would be to have the Epidemic Response Committee remain for as long as the alert level remains at or above level 2, with consequent restrictions on the operations of Parliament and the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act has not been repealed, and that the select committee convene weekly.
