RINO TIRIKATENE (Chairperson of the Māori Affairs Committee): Thank you, Madam Chair. Tēnā koe e Te Whare. I am pleased to speak on Vote Māori Development for the 2020-21 Estimates debate. I would like to acknowledge the members of the Māori Affairs Committee for examining the Estimates. The committee has recommended that the Estimates for the appropriations for Vote Māori Development be accepted by the House. Can I acknowledge the Ministers—the Hon Nanaia Mahuta, Minister for Māori Development, and the Hon Peeni Henare, the Minister responsible for Whānau Ora—for appearing before our committee. We gave a thorough consideration to the Estimates.
