SIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for the opportunity to take a call in this debate on the transport sector. I do just want to start with a couple of introductory comments before asking the Minister some questions. I think what became incredibly apparent during the select committee hearings of the annual reviews was that this Government is leaving an infrastructure hole in New Zealand. We have seen project after project which was under way being cancelled: East West Link, Mill Road, Whangārei to Port Marsden, Woodend bypass, Cambridge to Piarere, Ōtaki to Levin cancelled and then restarted, Tauranga Northern Link cancelled and then only partly restarted.
