DENISE LEE (National—Maungakiekie): Thank you very much, Madam Chair, for the opportunity to speak. It has been worthwhile listening to my colleagues talk about some of the monumental reforms that this bill represents and the, quite frankly, disastrous effects on local communities and the regions that they represent. While those economic impacts are extremely important to consider, I'd like to consider this afternoon the timing of the bill and the wider economic context.
