A brief background of why we're here with this bill. The Teaching Council, as it is now known, was established by the last National Government under the name of the Education Council of Aotearoa New Zealand. It replaced a body, what was then called the Teachers Council. It had an expanded range of functions from the previous Teachers Council, and it was expected to move to a position where it would become self-sustaining through member contributions, through the contributions of the teaching profession. The last National Government expanded the functions of the council and also put additional funding in to manage the transition to those expanded functions, but with an expectation that, over time, the council would set new fees that would mean that it would be self-sustaining. Those subsidies from Government were due to come to an end shortly after this Government took office. We increased those subsidies to increase that transition time for the new council, and particularly in recognition of some of the changes that we made, including reinstating elections to that council. Therefore, those subsidies were due to be phasing out last year.
