TĀMATI COFFEY (Chairperson of the Māori Affairs Committee): Thank you, Madam Chair. The Māori Affairs Committee did indeed conduct the annual review of the Ministry of Māori Development, otherwise known as Te Puni Kōkiri (TPK), which has been established to advise the Government on all policies and issues affecting Māori. It's also in charge of improving achievement in several other areas, including training and employment, education, economic development, and also health.
