I want to begin with a few acknowledgments. Firstly, to the members of Ngāti Rangitihi in the gallery this afternoon, and in particular, their lead negotiator, Leith Comer. Tēnā koe, Leith. Leith and his team have put in a lot of hard work to get us to this point. Kei te mihi ki a koutou. I want to acknowledge the people, both past and present, who made the claims that this bill pertains to, and kept the fires burning. It's been a long time coming. I especially want to acknowledge those Ngāti Rangitihi tīpuna who are no longer with us to see their claims settled. I'd also like to acknowledge the effort of chief Crown negotiator Katherine Gordon, and those people from the Crown who worked alongside her, and, of course, Te Arawhiti.
