Dear DPMC,

Thank you for this response. Since the reconnection strategy forum aired yesterday morning, I take it that this programme is now finalised and no longer under "active consideration" as you put it in your letter. As the section 9(2)(f)(iv) exemption no longer applies, I would like to take the opportunity to renew my request, namely for copies of:

1) The Reconnecting New Zealand work programme
2) All briefings to Cabinet or any minister relating to this programme, dated since the beginning of April
3) All feedback or advice on this programme received by DPMC from the Continuous Review, Improvement and Advice Group; Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group; and the Business Leaders’ Forum, dated since the beginning of April

Yours sincerely,

Harold
