Hon CHRIS CARTER (Minister of Conservation) Link to this
I seek leave to table a document relating to question No. 4, where the Hon Nick Smith told us that the Department of Conservation had delayed the Kaituna project for 18 months. I have a document that shows that 6 months of that delay was caused by the applicant. There was a 2-month delay while the applicant provided a fuller application to the department, and a further 4-month delay while the applicant provided the department with comments. Once again, the member was not quite truthful.
