SARAH PALLETT (Labour—Ilam): Thank you so much, Mr Speaker. I rise with pleasure this afternoon to speak on the Improving Arrangements for Surrogacy Bill, which has been brought here by my friend and colleague Mr Tāmati Coffey. I'd like to congratulate and commend him for bringing this bill forward to the House. We've heard from many of the previous speakers about the importance of this bill. I just wanted to highlight that the petition that was brought to Parliament in 2019 had on it 32,239 online signatures that recognised that this law should be changed, because it does need to be simplified. At the moment, we need to update the legislation in order to balance the needs and rights of both the expecting, intending parents, the surrogate themselves, and, of course, the child. This bill is designed to simplify those arrangements.
