Dr SHANE RETI (Deputy Leader—National): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Today, we stand in support of the people of Canterbury for the weather event that has so disrupted and affected their lives. We want to thank emergency services and first responders for what they have done and what we anticipate they will continue to do so professionally going forward. We acknowledge the Government's support, the mayoral relief fund, and other support that has been provided to the region, and the many families and friends who have opened their doors to those who have been impacted. We also want to thank marae. This is another reminder that during civil emergencies, unconditionally, marae open their doors and make themselves available. Ngā mihi ki a koutou.
