I do want to make a couple of acknowledgments as we progress this first reading. I do want to acknowledge Gerry Brownlee. Gerry, being the Minister at the time, holding the seat at a very difficult time in Canterbury's history, came under a lot of flak and lot of pressure from a lot of people. I know because my whanaunga were all from down there. I want to acknowledge Dan Gordon, the Mayor of Waimakariri, who is sitting up there in my old patch, and an old friend of mine, being a local who lived in Rangiora for some time and lived in Christchurch on and off for about 30 years. My children and the bulk of my grandchildren are still living there. I acknowledge my local MP, Matt Doocey, for the time that we were down there.
