Utikere Tangi; Brown Simeon; Kuriger BarbaraTANGI UTIKERE (Labour—Palmerston North): Thank you Madam Chair. I'm still waiting to hear a response from the Minister in relation to my suggested amendments to clause 1—Hon Member: No.TANGI UTIKERE: Well the members opposite might say no but in fairness these are clauses that have actually been put on an Amendment Paper. They have been made available earlier in the week so this has not just been tabled late; they were tabled basically three weeks ago when the House was sitting. So I wonder then given the Minister hasn't given a response around those perhaps I do need to go in some detail as to what each of them actually identifies.I did note that they were on Amendment Papers 42 43 44 45 46 and 47 and I was prepared to give—Hon Dr Megan Woods: So sequential!TANGI UTIKERE: They are. I was prepared to give the Minister an opportunity to just come back and say Actually no I don't agree with them" or not but he hasn't done that. So I will I think have to go through each of them.So turn our minds to number 42 clause 1. Now I actually think this is very similar to what my colleague Arena Williams had said and actually I would be very comfortable if the Minister preferred Ms Williams' amendment over mine—I'm OK with that. But we do need to hear from him around that. He should tell us. He should be very clear around it. It seeks to insert after "(Clean Vehicle Standard" "and Budget Measures". Ms Williams has articulated the very view that often when it comes to bills that are introduced to the House in urgency as part of the Budget urgency motion this is a common approach and so I'd be interested to hear from the Minister on that.Moving now to Amendment Paper 43 this seeks to "In clause 1 after '(Clean Vehicle Standard' … insert 'and Targets for Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions'." So we hear a lot around the label being what is on the tin. I'd be interested whether the Minister thinks that that would be an appropriate description for that given that he hasn't had an opportunity to respond to that.The next one is on Amendment Paper 44.Hon Members: No.TANGI UTIKERE: This is after—well again the members opposite might not like it but maybe that's the view and they're speaking for the Minister but we have not heard from the Minister yet. This is "after '(Clean Vehicle Standard' … insert 'and Regulations Relating to Cost Recovery'." Now the Minister may actually be supportive of that and thinking about it because he himself has said that it does relate to cost recovery and it was perhaps a suggestion from himself. So I'm happy actually if the Minister wanted to take that Amendment Paper as one of his own Amendment Papers—I'm very happy for that. We're happy to do the work. He can have it. He can take it. He can have it in his name.Moving on to Amendment Paper 45. It was in relation to replacing "(Clean Car Standard)" with "(Transport Budget Measures)". So this is no reference to "(Clean Vehicle Standard)". And actually given that we haven't had justification as to what that means or what it might look like that might be an appropriate title for the Minister to consider. But yet he hasn't replied to that so we'll wait and see whether that is in his purview or not.On to Amendment Paper 46—Hon Member: Well that's good.TANGI UTIKERE: Well I think someone over there said that was good so clearly they've read it. It's "clause 1 replace '(Clean Vehicle Standard)' … with '(Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions)'." And so that might be something that the Minister might be interested in.And then finally I think—and I do apologise to the committee but I feel as though I've had to do that given the Minister has not given a response—is Amendment Paper 47 and this is "In clause 1 replace '(Clean Vehicle Standard)' … with '(Cost Recovery of Clean Vehicle Standard)'." Actually that's probably more in line with the Minister's thinking so he may want to take that.So I think we are still waiting to hear from the Minister about his views on those and it might be that he agrees with some of them or none of them or all of them. That's fine. But at the moment we have not heard from the Minister as to what his view is so I do hope that he will take up the opportunity to do that and I look forward to a response from him.Hon SIMEON BROWN (Minister of Transport): I apologise to the member for not sharing my views more clearly and loudly but I will do so: Amendment Paper 42 no; Amendment Paper 43 no; Amendment Paper 44 no; Amendment Paper 45 no; Amendment Paper 46 no; and Amendment Paper 47 no. The bill is very clear as to what the bill is and it is the Land Transport (Clean Vehicle Standard) Amendment Bill. CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): Members the time has come for me to leave the Chair. The committee of the whole House will resume at 9 a.m.Sitting suspended from 11.58 p.m. to 9 a.m. (Thursday)"
