I want to acknowledge the partners of this local bill, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Canterbury Regional Council, or Environment Canterbury, whose mahi tahi has been reflected in this bill. I'm so pleased that it's come to the second reading. This is a momentous occasion. I want to acknowledge all the work that has been done thus far, in respect of the examination of the bill. In particular, I want to acknowledge the Māori Affairs Committee for their very thorough examination of the bill. In what were difficult COVID circumstances, they were able to hear from submitters, from representatives of iwi, from the councils within the Canterbury region, and I want to acknowledge them for their very thorough examination and thoughtful consideration of the issues that were raised. Now that we're at second reading, I commend the committee for their amendments to the bill, for which a lot of it was around greater precision with the drafting, and clarification around certain provisions. I want to acknowledge the officials and all those that were involved in actually making what is a great bill even better. So I'm very proud to support it i tēnei pānuitanga tuarua [at the second reading.]
