I asked the question earlier on for members of the public who are looking in who are not impacted by this. Can Ms Timmons state how the public should have confidence that mica, pyrite or pyrrhotite is not getting into the building system at present? What processes are put in places there?

I have a further question. These materials must have gone over the Border at some stage, but how have they not revealed themselves there? I would have said there is a stronger building control there, but how is that building control enacted? Is it enacted on site when a delivery comes or through certification from the point of source? How is that done differently over the Border than here and how did they manage to completely escape any materials with deleterious content?
