But what's curious about this piece of legislation is that it's sort of confected or concatenated. It doesn't only align New Zealand's plant variety rights legislation with the CPTPP so people can develop new forms of plants and use those rights to make money and trade with our friends around the world; it also says it makes the plant variety rights regime consistent with the Treaty of Waitangi. What it does is it says it does this by incentivising plant breeders to engage early with kaitiaki if the new variety they wish to seek a plant variety right for may involve a taonga species, establishing a Māori Plant Varieties Committee to assess the effect of the grant of a PVR on kaitiaki relationships and make decisions on whether the PVR application should proceed.
