Outside this House this earlier afternoon, we had the privilege of welcoming those that could come this afternoon from Ngāti Rangitihi into this Whare Mīere and what I heard was that the journey to this point—it was long, it was arduous, but one thing that Leith Comer said in his contribution was that while some things like these settlements can often leave a lasting imprint that tear the people apart, this settlement and today is a day of unification for Ngāti Rangitihi, and I acknowledge those rangatira amongst them that have pulled the people together. I want to acknowledge my colleague the Hon Andrew Little for his stewardship. I too want to acknowledge that the journey was commenced six years ago under the maru, under the helm, of the Hon Christopher Finlayson. I want to too acknowledge my predecessor, the Hon Eugenie Sage, of whom Ngāti Rangitihi made comment and asked me to please pass on their regards for her work that she did whilst she was the Minister of Conservation.
