I'm especially proud and grateful to stand here as the member of Parliament for Ilam, because Ilam has played a pivotal role in keeping New Zealanders safe from COVID-19. The moment you land at Christchurch Airport, you find yourself in Ilam and you know that you're in safe hands. Four out of six of our managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities in Christchurch are in Ilam, and, of course, we can't fault the staff at the airport itself.
