The third piece of information we have about the context in which this decision has been made is that we've had a very small mention of the fact that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade had been asked for their input in order to consider New Zealand's international obligations as they relate to this change. I do ask that members of the House, and particularly those of the governing party, reflect upon that—that we are in this House debating a change to our law that is so significant in terms of the precedent it sets and in terms of the message it sends that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has had to be asked how it affects our international obligations.
