[The breath, the energy of life. To the dawnlight, to the world of light. The misty mountain Aoraki greets the sky, the land and the people. Fearsome and formidable, to come forth to the dawnlight, to the world of light. Greetings, my chiefs. Greetings to the wider Ngāi Tahu. Greetings to my many relatives, to the local assemblies, to the many sub-tribes, to the well-known sub-tribes, greetings, greetings, welcome, welcome to the House of Parliament that is prepared for you. It is a great honour for me to stand in support and to shepherd this bill in its third reading. I acknowledge Environment Canterbury, greetings to the council. Thank you for your collaboration with Ngāi Tahi on this bill. This is a very important day. I acknowledge the many deceased of this time, you who have become stars in the heavens. Returning now to the living seated here. Greetings to the male and female elders. To you, Sir, to the chief Sir Tīpene, this is my greeting you, the patriarch. To you in the Papatipu Rūnanga who are supporting this bill, greetings to you all.]
