I want to speak today about one of the elements of this Government's massive work programme. It's designed to keep Kiwis safe and navigate this country through the economic recovery, and, most importantly, to build back better. The Government's economic plan involves a managed transition away from a low-wage, low-productivity economic model, a model this country has embraced for decades and, at its heart, it has had consistently high net migration figures. This effort that is already under way, led by Minister Kris Faafoi, continues even as we try to recover from the pandemic, and the border closure has given us an opportunity to accelerate the work we started before COVID, focused on tilting the profile of migrants who've come to, and stay in, New Zealand towards more highly skilled workers.
