Questions to Ministers
Hon JUDITH COLLINS to
the Prime Minister: Does she stand by her statement that the
reason the Government will not extend the wage subsidy to

regime”?

How is the Government supporting New Zealand businesses and
workers through the global COVID-19 pandemic?

Hon

Finance: Is the Government taking steps to ensure the
