I'm really pleased to take a short call on the Canterbury Regional Council (Ngāi Tahu Representation) Bill. It's somewhat ironic that we have the National Party opposing this bill and talking about democracy, because, of course, it was the National Party that got rid of 14 elected councillors on Environment Canterbury in 2010 and did not return democracy to Canterbury for nine long years. I was one of those councillors that got unceremoniously removed.
