Hon NANAIA MAHUTA (Minister of Local Government): I'm quite happy to explain my own wording and the things that I'm presenting to the committee. Firstly, the commencement clause in its intention is to ensure that as soon as the bill passes all stages, it will be given effect. That will give a signal to councils who will have been notified by 26 February about the intention to demand a poll about the intention of Parliament. We are passing this legislation through to give them certainty.
