The Green Party has worked throughout the development of the bill to improve it, to strengthen it. I really acknowledge the work of environment Minister David Parker and the good faith negotiations that he has undertaken with us. I also acknowledge the really important contribution that submitters have made, because the Green Party was adamant that there needed to be a select committee process for this bill so that the public would have an opportunity to comment on it, because communities want to be able to influence the decisions that are made under the Resource Management Act which affect their neighbourhoods and the places that they care about. Public participation enables more information to be put in front of decision makers, and, again, that wider spectrum of views.
