Hon TODD McCLAY (National—Rotorua): Madam Speaker, thank you. It is a privilege to speak on this bill at the first reading, and the reason for that is the question of the importance of Matariki is not up for debate today. On our side of the House, as with Labour and, I think, all parties in Parliament, the celebration of something that is uniquely New Zealand is important, and I'm very pleased the House can set time aside today to be able to discuss that and do so in a respectful manner.
