Now, I lived through the earthquakes in Canterbury, and I have seen the effect on our community of losing 185 beloved people. The terrible effects of those losses still reverberate through the entire country. We're a close community here in New Zealand, and I can't begin to imagine what it would be like for us to have lost thousands of Kiwis. We could have; however, we went there and we took early and decisive action to prevent it. We listened to our experts, and over and over again, we responded with intelligence and flexibility to new challenges, new variants. And last year, we delivered one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. We should be very proud, and I am.
