Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: Three recommendations from the working group have been noted but not taken forward at this stage. The working group recommended that the first piece of three waters legislation establish a water services ombudsman to protect consumer interest. We acknowledge the need to protect consumer interest; however, this is a matter we anticipate will be addressed with regards to the establishment of economic regulations. Also, recommendations 44 and 45 relate to funding as an ongoing role for the Crown. The Government will continue to review any need for Crown support for water services infrastructure reforms as we continue to progress our programme. The recommendations we have adopted do not change the fact that the appointments to the water service entity boards will be based on professional skills and competency. We've consistently ruled out co-governance at that level. In its totality, I want to acknowledge that the governance working group identified that all recommendations would need to be subject to a Standard & Poor's test to assure that balance sheet separation can be achieved and that would best enable the advantages of scale and aggregation to finance three waters infrastructure and investment.
