I am very pleased that the Minister has enabled a longer select committee process, and I thank her and acknowledge her for that. I also want to acknowledge the Access Alliance group, who were formed in February 2017. This was a diverse range of disability groups who came together to call for legislation that would enable people with disabilities to more actively participate in society, and I believe we have some of those founding members of the Access Alliance here today and I want to acknowledge them for the wonderful work they have done. I think the founding members should be mentioned here today: the Association of Blind Citizens New Zealand, CCS Disability Action, Cerebral Palsy Society of New Zealand, Deaf Aotearoa, Disabled Persons Assembly (New Zealand), Kāpō Māori Aotearoa New Zealand Inc., National Foundation for Deaf & Hard of Hearing, Blind Low Vision NZ, Parents of Vision Impaired (NZ) Inc., People First Ngā Tāngata Tuatahi.
