Hon MICHAEL WOOD: No, because, as I've explained, the advice year on year in this respect is that there might be a restraint on the number of jobs created, but this Government has shown that consistently our policies are able to deliver lower unemployment for New Zealanders, while also delivering good minimum wages. I also note the full scope of the advice provided by MBIE, which notes: "In a study of evidence across 19 OECD countries, it was found that there was no overall effect on total employment [through minimum wage increases]."
