Hon JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki): Oh, thank you, Madam Chair. I was in the middle of a conversation with the Minister in the chair, David Parker, around the provision whereby the Act is repealed on the second anniversary of the date at which it receives Royal assent. My question now to the Minister goes to—and I have several questions, but I will take them one at a time—the Minister's answer to my previous question, where he told the committee that he really had no idea how many applications would be before the hearings panels. My question to the Minister is: what work was done in the development of this bill, in the drafting and the policy work prior to the bill hitting the committee and the House, on the estimation of the number of infrastructure projects—not the listed but the referred projects—that may potentially be referred to the panel? I want to understand the lack of certainty the Minister has on just how large the workload will be, because please reassure me and other members that policy work was done and that the Minister has a better handle on just, you know, round-figure numbers of consents that might apply to be considered as part of this process.
