As we near the final stages of this bill's journey through this House, I acknowledge that the signing of Ngāti Maru's settlement, which took place in February, has been a long time coming for iwi who have been in negotiations since the late 1980s. This bill completes the settlement process, which began under former Treaty negotiations Minister Christopher Finlayson during the last National-led Government, and I wish to acknowledge Minister Andrew Little, who has laid the settlement to its final conclusion here in the House today. I also extend my gratitude to the settlement negotiators for the Crown and for Ngāti Maru who worked tirelessly to shape an agreement that we all hope heralds a brighter future for present and future generations of Ngāti Maru.
