I acknowledge and draw to the attention of New Zealanders, in addition to Ngāti Maniapoto, who are tuned in, listening in, to this debate this afternoon, that the bill records at clause 12 those who signed, and thus this is inscribed into law—into this bill soon to become law. Those who were present and were signatories at the deed of settlement on 11 November 2021, I acknowledge all of you—Madam Speaker, I say "you" because, appropriately, I acknowledge those whom this bill is about. Also, the acknowledgment is to the negotiators both for Ngāti Maniapoto peoples and on behalf of the Crown. May I say, in paying acknowledgment, aroha mai: our apology from the National Party for not being present at the pō'hiri here in the precinct today. We did not know. Tikanga in the past has afforded us the opportunity to be present, so simply to allay any concerns as to why the National Party were not present. We are today. My colleague Joseph Mooney and I, we sit on the Māori Affairs Committee. Regrettably, we weren't there, but we will be to listen to the submissions from those in relation to this bill.
