GINNY ANDERSEN (Labour—Hutt South): Thank you very much, Mr Chair. I appreciate time is of the essence, so I'll get to the point. First of all, I'd just like to acknowledge all of the essential workers who have been working across New Zealand under level 4, and also ongoing in level 2, as well, acknowledging everything they do and continue to do to keep us safe. We know that Delta is a game-changer, and the events of the last few days have once again confirmed the value of going hard and going early. While our approach has allowed us more freedoms, I just want to state very briefly that in no way do we underestimate the impact that COVID restrictions have had on people and also on businesses across New Zealand.
