[Therefore, I wish to acknowledge all the honourable members who have sat on Parliament's Māori Affairs Committee. Let us say this to our predecessors: come back to us in spirit. It is you have carried the torch. You who have carried the initiatives of the Māori Affairs Committee. And there have been many of you in the past 150 years. The lines are unbroken. Let the dead rest with the dead. The lines are unbroken. Let the living be with the living. Greetings one and all.]
