This term I've enjoyed chairing the Social Services and Community Committee. I thank the members and the staff. I think we've had an amazing atmosphere. After so many long, long, long Green Party meetings trying to find consensus, I think it helped me a little bit to be a fair and constructive chair. I am disappointed, though, that we couldn't get the numbers for a full inquiry into forced adoption. I believe New Zealand's lack of an inquiry and apology and counselling support for the tens of thousands of mothers and children does slow the healing.
