Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Immigration): Yes, in the context they were made and undertaken. In particular I stand by the Government's reconnecting plan, which will drive our economic recovery, address worker shortages, and give businesses and migrants certainty. As we move into our plan to reconnect, we are safely opening the border and it will allow Kiwis, migrants, and businesses to travel to New Zealand in a way that manages public health, economic, and community needs. We have also provided certainty to thousands of migrants who are in New Zealand through the creation of the 2021 resident visa. We estimate that 165,000 people will be eligible, who have lived in New Zealand for the last three years, who work in skilled or scarce jobs. I am pleased to report that phase one of the roll-out of this visa is tracking on schedule, with over 13,000 applications of the forecast 15,000 applications having been received, and nearly 6,000 applications approved, meaning there are a little over 11,000 new New Zealand residents. Phase two begins on 1 March, when the balance of the 85,000 applications will be able to apply.
