Just for the benefit of people listening in to this committee, normally when legislation is introduced to the House affecting New Zealanders—in this case, the owners and operators and staff in early childhood centres—there would be plenty of time for a select committee to consider what was raised in the bill and for people to make submissions and be heard, and to have plenty of time to have their say. What we have here is a very truncated situation: we had a couple of weeks, a few people had a chance to say something, but, as the Minister, I'm sure, will remember from the weekend, where I understand he had a fairly hostile reception from an early childhood education sector conference, there has been widespread despair in the sector over the introduction of this bill at such speed.
