Answer
As per my response to WPQ 12612 (2026), my office provided feedback to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries on his draft Cabinet paper "Proposed changes to the Fisheries Act 1996" on 23 July 2025. The Department of Conservation advises that they provided email advice on the Fisheries Amendment Bill to the Ministry for Primary Industries on 16 February 2026, as part of agency consultation once the Bill was drafted.
