SARAH PALLETT (Labour—Ilam): Thank you so much, Mr Speaker We stand here this evening to ensure, I hope, with this bill, if it passes, that we have direct Ngāi Tahu representation at the council level because direct representation is not what we currently have at Environment Canterbury. We have two wonderful Tumu Taiao—they are mana whenua experts—but they do not have decision-making powers; they have no vote.
