BARBARA KURIGER (National—Taranaki - King Country): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It's a pleasure to rise and speak on the second reading of the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill tonight and to support taking this bill back to the select committee. I rise not only as a member of the National Party caucus but also as chair of the Governance and Administration Committee, and I would like to echo the words of Mr Tangi Utikere, which is that we are a good, collegial committee and we will make our best endeavours around doing our best with our inquiry powers on this piece of legislation.
