SHANAN HALBERT (Labour—Northcote): Tēnā koe, Madam Speaker. It's my honour this afternoon to rise and speak in support of the Construction Contracts (Retention Money) Amendment Bill. Can I open this afternoon by acknowledging Minister Poto Williams, and the work that she's been doing, and also acknowledge the importance of pronunciation when we acknowledge any names within this House. So, Minister Williams, I think you've done an incredible amount of work gearing up in construction, and—when I listened to your presentation to our Transport and Infrastructure Committee last week—just the incredible amount of planning that this Government has done in order to gear up to where we need to be. I think, particularly, about the future of our construction sector and how critical it is to the success of Aotearoa New Zealand moving forward. I think of how this sector is organised, how it's supported and led, because our reality is that 275,000 New Zealanders work in this space currently, and that continues to grow with the amount of work that we're doing here.
