Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): Just referring to those questions, this amendment bill does not seek to undermine environmental standards; it seeks to retain them, and the references here to the Resource Management Act, cross-referenced through other clauses of the bill, achieve that outcome. In respect of how many projects could be referred before the system would be choked up—or "Couldn't it be choked up by referred projects?"—of course, that's the very reason that the Government has retained control over how many projects are referred. The Government controls the number of projects that go through by virtue of the Order in Council process that applies to referred projects.
