Dean JacquiHon JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki): Madam Chair thank you. It's just a shame that I cannot finish the point I was trying to make in Part 1. However I'm very pleased because I did want an answer. There were three questions I posed to the Minister and I did wish for answers to those and I know I'm now out of order in wanting those questions answered but in fact the questions still remain and there will be questions arising out of Part 2 of this bill.Just to set the scene since I'm the first keen member to leap to their feet Part 2 of this bill makes amendments to the State Sector Act and it does so in a couple of ways relating to a couple of areas. It improves the State Services Commission's investigatory powers. If you think—and some member has said this—it is a pretty light and small bill it's not because in fact this provision on improving the State Service Commission's investigatory powers is a very very important part of this bill. Being able to conduct an investigation is a crucial function of the State Services Commissioner and so this part of the bill addresses that.We've had a number of incidences in New Zealand where the State Services Commissioner has had to rely on powers under the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1908 to undertake those inquiries. However with the Inquiries Act 2013—it says 2013" in my notes but I wonder if it's 2014. I would be interested actually if the Minister can answer that little question. The Inquiries Act was a good piece of legislation that was brought through when National were in Government. So what needs to happen now is that the bill will update the commissioner's investigatory powers under the Commissions of Inquiry Act by bringing them into and under the Inquiries Act of 2013-14. While the Minister is answering that question—whether it's 2013 or 2014—perhaps he might care to answer the three previous questions that I posed to him. I'm sure Madam Chair won't mind. We'll just test that in due course but I don't think there's any chance of him doing that so that is a little bit of a moot point.Under new section 9A(2) in clause 8 there is a list of the sections of the Inquiries Act that would apply when the commissioner investigates something in the course of their functions under the State Sector Act. As I say this is an important aspect of the ability of the State Services Commissioner to hold Crown entities to account for their actions. I do support this part. I think in the course of our consideration in the Governance and Administration Committee there weren't too many submissions in opposition to this provision—and I will be interested in other members who are looking through and recollecting. Perhaps Government members might wish to comment on this. We received only seven submissions but they were substantive submissions and I would be interested in other members' views—particularly across the Chamber—on this new investigatory power which brings them into the Inquiries Act of 2013-14. It is quite a neat little clause which has gone into this bill and I do hope that members opposite will take time—well I'm assuming they've taken time to go through the submissions on this bill—and really express their view to the committee for the fullness of—Brett Hudson: Maybe we'll get some substantial comments.Hon JACQUI DEAN: Yeah I'm looking for some substantial submissions on this bill. I had only a few calls on Part 1 of the bill. Part 2 again is a substantive part and I do look forward to making a further contribution."
