I am delighted to speak as the support member for this bill, the Canterbury Regional Council (Ngāi Tahu Representation) Bill. This bill reinstates mana whenua representation on the Canterbury Regional Council in the form of two Ngāi Tahu councillors from the 2022 local body elections. I want to acknowledge the Canterbury Regional Council, also known as Environment Canterbury, for bringing this bill to the House in collaboration with the Papatipu Rūnanga of Ngāi Tahu, who I know are tuning in from HQ there in Ōtautahi, so I mihi to them all.
