I'm standing to address the House but, more significantly and importantly, the uri of those tribal peoples and hapū I have acknowledged and addressed today for the first reading of Te Rohe o Rongokako Joint Redress Bill. I was unaware that I would be taking a call on this bill until just earlier today, and so the time that I have had in preparation has been somewhat compromised, but I assure those who are gathered here, and who have travelled afar—and I acknowledge you; thank you for coming—and those of your people who are not able to accompany you today, that we will give this bill the due diligence that is necessary and is appropriate before the Māori Affairs Committee.
