I have the honour this afternoon of supporting the Moriori Claims Settlement Bill through its second reading. This crosses yet another very important threshold, as we all know, in the passage of these important pieces of legislation. I begin by acknowledging the work of the Moriori imi, their negotiators, and the Moriori claims settlement trust for their energy, their tenacity, and their drive that has brought us where we are today. I'd also like to thank key members of the Crown team: chief Crown negotiator Dame Fran Wilde, my ministerial colleagues, and the Crown entities who have been involved in this work for many years now.
