As mentioned, 25 submissions were received on the bill, and submitters fell into three camps. Some thought we were restricting investment too much and that this could be to the detriment of our economy and our climate change goals. Others thought we should be doing more to restrict the amount of overseas investment in forestry. Those in support, who were the third group, thought that the bill was an appropriate way to balance managing the risks of the forestation with supporting investment that brings benefits to New Zealand. Submissions also identified areas where further clarification was needed and I thank submitters and the committee for progressing these changes.
