ERICA STANFORD (National—East Coast Bays): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I am very pleased to take a call on the Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading Reform) Amendment Bill at the second reading. As has already been noted by my colleagues, we will be opposing this legislation at second reading. To be honest, for many of us, it is with somewhat of a heavy heart because at first reading we did support the bill and many of the proposals in it—as we still do, some of those proposals—but we are not living in the same world that we were living in when this bill was introduced. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has changed many, many things, and New Zealand is going to be recovering from this virus, in economic terms, for many, many years—potentially the next decade.
