SIMON COURT (ACT): Thank you, Madam Chair. It's a great concern to learn that, in fact, rather than the efforts of appointed Ngāi Tahu members to Environment Canterbury actually giving Environment Canterbury decision makers insights and knowledge that would enable them to be more efficient, what the member has said is that the appointment of these voting but unelected members of Ngāi Tahu is going to be like sawdust in the machine of local government. As if local government needed anything else to slow it down—but to have people appointed to local government who can't actually help the organisation improve its delivery and improve its performance but rather create some kind of impediment to progress. Now, it's remarkable that that's the conclusion that the member supporting the bill proposed would result from having Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu members appointed to council.
