National Party leader Simon Bridges leads the committee, and is joined by four other National MPs, three Labour MPs, one Green Party MP, one New Zealand First MP, and permanent member David Seymour, leader of the ACT Party.
The committee will hear from Bush and Henare, followed by Director of Civil Defence Management Sarah Stuart-Black, Customs Minister Jenny Salesa, and the controller of New Zealand's Customs Service Christine Stevenson.
