Today, I want to talk about being part of a Government that is laying the foundations for our recovery and tackling New Zealand's long-term challenges. Because of the hard work of our team of 5 million over the last 18 months, we are now well positioned to recover and rebuild from COVID-19. The Government's books last week show that the New Zealand economy is continuing to display resilience in the face of the ongoing impact of COVID, and this Government has introduced a range of measures across Budget 2020 and Budget 2021 to help lay the foundations for our recovery.
