Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Immigration): Kia orana, Mr Speaker. Yes, I stand by our Government's management of the border to keep COVID out of our communities, to make sure that New Zealanders can get home, to reunite families, and to respond to skill shortages where we can. Throughout the pandemic, we have worked to strike a balance between protecting people, using the limited capacity we have at the border to bring people through, and making the best use of onshore workforce through changes to visa settings. In taking this approach, we have been able to bring in more than 17,000 skilled workers and their families to date, and we've also extended essential skills, working holiday, and supplementary seasonal employment visas to meet our onshore labour demands. We've also taken decisions to make the system as flexible as it can be to make sure we have the best use of these workers.
