The committee acknowledged the difficulties that the Canterbury farmers have faced following the flooding in late May of 2021, and we thanked the Ministry for Primary Industries for their work in this area to support our affected farmers. We discussed that, in June, the Government allocated $500,000 to assist the recovery, and the Minister told us that rural support trusts, councils, Federated Farmers, and other organisations were on the ground looking at what needed to be done and how best to distribute the money. I note that following our hearing, the Government announced an additional $4 million.
