In these third readings, some parts are celebratory and some parts pōuri, because we know that it marks the end of one part of a journey, but it commences a whole 'nother, as now, on behalf of the Crown, we have to whakatinana the agreement that has been made through this part of the taupatupatu that you've made today, and we must now turn to acknowledge and make sure we don't break yet again promises made to ngā hapū, ngā iwi Māori—kia koutou Ngāti Maru—and that's not a smooth journey I have seen in my short tenure that I've been a Minister of the Crown. Minister Little will, in turn, make apologies on behalf of the Crown for the historical grievances at your marae in Taranaki, but I too want to acknowledge that the journey ahead, we must all bear in mind, is an untreaded path for Ngāti Maru and the Crown, that place. On my behalf, for the agencies that I have authority to, and, I know, my colleagues here, it's now our duty to make sure that we do in every decision that we make whakatinana, whakamana tēnei kawenata mai i te Karauna ki a koutou a Ngāti Maru [implement and validate this covenant between the Crown and you, Ngāti Maru].
