RAWIRI WAITITI (Co-Leader—Te Paati Māori): Talofa lava, manuia faafetai i le Atua, manuia le Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. Tēnā koe e te Pīka. Tēnā tātou e te Whare. I rise on behalf of Te Paati Māori to show our aroha and support for the Canterbury region at this time as they deal with the severe storms, flooding, and all the stress and disruption that has been caused as a result. I want to acknowledge Ngāi Tahu for their tremendous effort to support and uplift their communities of Ōtautahi. In particular, I send the mihi of Te Paati Māori to the hau kāinga of Hakatere Marae, the Ashburton marae, who have opened their doors to all the whānau and communities. This is a demonstration of the manaakitanga that is absolutely central to our tikanga and culture. Time and time again, no matter what the nature of the emergency, it is tangata whenua and it is our marae who open their doors and provide the relief and care that people need when they are dealing with emergencies and may need to evacuate their homes to ensure their families are safe. I too acknowledge local and central government for committing resources and funding to support Canterbury with the significant impacts of the flooding. No effort, no pūtea, should be spared in giving mana whenua, whānau, businesses, and communities the support they need at this time. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, kia ora tātou kātoa.
