JOSEPH MOONEY (National—Southland): I rise as the member of Parliament for Southland to speak in support of the second reading of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Legislation Bill on behalf of the National Party. It's great to be able to speak in support of a bill giving effect to a free-trade agreement signed on 15 November last year by 15 countries in the Asia-Pacific which, between them, are home to about a third of the world's population—2 to 3 billion people; a third of the world's GDP—and the destination of over half of New Zealand's exports.
