I would note that Minister Jackson, in a speech at Ngā Whare Waatea, said "He Puapua is a collection of ideas, suggestions, aspirations and hopes for Māori—something to add to our discussions … the Declaration can be a bit scary when you first look through its gates. But once we talk about it together, wananga, and even argue back and forth about it—it will become a place where talking about self-determination is welcomed, a place where we can share our aspirations and debate our future. It will be something that brings us together as a country."
