I'm pleased to present the report of the Finance and Expenditure Committee on the Budget Policy Statement and the Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update, both of which were presented by the relevant Minister and ministries in December 2019. I'd like to thank the committee for the work they did reviewing these important documents, and I'd like to thank the Minister of Finance, the Hon Grant Robertson, and the Secretary to the Treasury, Dr Caralee McLiesh, for appearing in front of our committee to answer our questions.
