This bill is significant because it is bringing to an end the extraordinary powers that central government assumed after the quakes in Christchurch. I note, as other speakers have, that a lot of that legislation went through with the unanimous support from the Parliament, but there was a feeling in Christchurch, with the powers that Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) had, of being alienated from decision making—decisions about the investment of millions of dollars being made without a public hearing process, without the ability for people to see who was making the decisions: those being made by CERA behind closed doors.
