Thank you, Madam Speaker, and I thank everyone for the opportunity to say a few words on this bill, the Maniapoto Claims Settlement Bill, and help shepherd it through to select committee, where a lot of the leg work will be done. This has particular resonance with me as a half of me is the Ngāti Maniapoto side—my Waikato-Tainui side—and the other half is my Ngāpuhi side. So this has a particular relevance to me here today even though a lot of my work, once I left Hamilton, has been up in Te Tai Tokerau. This bill still means a lot to my whanaunga in the Waikato-Tainui - Ngāti Maniapoto area.
