LAWRENCE YULE (National—Tukituki): It's my pleasure to rise and take a call in the Budget debate, and I'll come to some of the points that Peeni Henare, the previous speaker, has just made, in a minute. But at the outset, I wish to say that it's my proper first time at speaking in this place since COVID, and I wish to acknowledge the health response. It was good. I wish to acknowledge the Ministers and all MPs right across the Parliament who worked during that time, because it was a difficult time for New Zealand. MPs and Ministers worked incredibly hard during that time, and I want to give some acknowledgment of that, including to the executive.
