I'm proud to take a call on the second reading of this bill. The Ngāti Maru (Taranaki) Claims Settlement Bill was referred to our komiti Māori on 6 July 2021. The closing date for submissions was 18 August 2021. We got advice on the bill from Te Arawhiti—thank you to them for their continued support to the committee through this process. The Office of the Clerk also provided some advice on the bill's legislative quality, and Parliamentary Counsel assisted with legal drafting.
