RICARDO MENÉNDEZ MARCH (Green): Tēnā koe, Madam Speaker. I rise with great pain to this House to speak to the many petitions that have been presented on the issue of immigration. I want to acknowledge the people in the gallery who are joining us today who come from our migrant communities, who shared with us their pain. I want to acknowledge, as well, the Minister for being present during the time that they were sharing their stories.
