Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Energy and Resources): I move, That the Gas (Information Disclosure and Penalties) Amendment Bill be now read a first time. I nominate the Economic Development, Science and Innovation Committee to consider the bill. At the appropriate time, I intend to move that the bill be reported to the House. It is important that this bill be passed without undue delay, to ensure that any new regulatory requirements are put in place as soon as possible to support New Zealand's security of supply and improve outcomes for energy consumers. I therefore intend to move that the committee has the authority to meet at any time while the House is sitting, except during oral questions, and during any evening on a day in which there has been a sitting of the House, and on the Friday in a week where there has been a sitting of the House, despite Standing Orders 191, 194(1)(b), and 194(1)(c).
