Dr DUNCAN WEBB (Labour—Christchurch Central): Thank you, Madam Speaker. Mr Simpson, first of all I want to thank you and your team for the hard work that you did on the Environment Committee, and what the committee showed is that, when we work together, we can make real progress. I was surprised to hear you stand up and say that the National Party will oppose this bill, because you know and I know that this bill is good policy and it's the way forward for New Zealand. Now, I know the National Party's a conservative party; I know it's not a party of progress, but we will not do what the National Party did for nine years and sit on our hands. There is always a reason to do nothing. We are not going to do that, and, led by James Shaw, Minister for Climate Change, we are going to stand up and fulfil our international obligations. So this is a party of progress and reform, and this is the time for progress and reform more than ever.
