RACHEL BOYACK (Labour—Nelson): Tēnā koe, Madam Speaker. It is incredibly humbling, actually, to take a call on the third reading of the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill. As the Minister pointed out, this bill began as a straightforward administrative bill, and the previous Parliament's Governance and Administration Committee referred it back, recommending changes to the self-identification process of a person's registered sex on their birth certificate. It was an unusual process to refer it back to select committee for a further inquiry, and—speaking as a member of the committee—we received around 6,900 written submissions and heard around 279 oral submissions.
