When the bill came before the Māori Affairs Committee—again, a privilege to be able to serve at the table there, and, again, a privilege to be able to listen to the stories—there were some 20 written submissions and seven oral submissions heard. There was still mamae that was imparted and shared with us by those who had a differing view to the majority of Ngāti Rangitihi who endorsed the settlement with a considerable percentage of support. And we made it clear as members on the Māori Affairs Committee that it is not for us to determine whakapapa, genealogy; it is for the people amongst yourselves. We acknowledge those who shared the mamae, but we acknowledge also that those of us who live amongst our own, we know our grievance; we also know the solutions.
