Hon NANAIA MAHUTA (Minister for Māori Development): Can I thank the Māori Affairs Committee for their consideration of the Estimates. We had a full and frank conversation about the range of opportunities in front of Māori communities as they look to recover from COVID. But also I want to acknowledge, for the very first time, the way in which this Government's response to an unprecedented event, at both the central and local level, enabled iwis, Māori, to participate in a response that would be relevant to the community, that would send fair communications out about what the impact of the issues we were dealing with in relation to COVID were, and to be able to respond in a timely way. That wouldn't have happened by accident; it was a deliberate part of the Māori response to the COVID context and enabling communities to participate.
