Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm happy to take a reasonably brief call at the start of this debate on Part 1 of the Land Transport (Clean Vehicles) Amendment Bill. I think, as all members of the committee know who have been involved in the debate over its previous two readings, this is quite a significant bill in terms of the Government's ambitions to develop a cleaner vehicle fleet by influencing both the supply of clean vehicles and then the affordability of clean vehicles for New Zealand consumers.
