Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs): I do want to acknowledge the Opposition member and his constructive engagement with this bill, and, of course, welcome the support of the National Party for the measures that we are taking. The uncertainty that COVID can bring to the business environment is something we are trying to counter here as best we can, because the consistent feedback that we have heard from the business community is that certainty about support measures that will apply at future alert levels and when escalations occur is absolutely critical for ongoing investment and hiring activity. We in the Labour Party want to ensure that the employment statistics, the kind that we've seen today, where wages have risen quite dramatically in our official statistics for the period prior to COVID, and where, overall, household earnings are rising—that's something we want to see continue, because we recognise that when New Zealand prospers, including our wage earners, including our businesses, and across the spectrum, people can continue to enjoy the lifestyles that come with that. Of course, the business confidence is a part of that picture, and the certainty around the operating environment is critical to that.
