Before I address the committee further, I'd like to pay respect and acknowledgments to Neville Baker, a kaumātua of Te Atiawa and Taranaki, who died just a few days ago. I make mention of Neville. His tangi was today, out at Waiwhetū Marae, and Neville was quite a significant participant in the report Pūao-te-ata-tū, which is well-known over the last three decades. I have a copy of it here. At the time Neville Baker was the head of community affairs in the Department of Māori Affairs, and I was a young woman working in the Department of Māori Affairs at the time that this report was penned.
