We would like to see second languages for children in this country push boundaries, and open doors, and see opportunities that we haven't yet seen before them. I only need think about my own daughters, my two—they're now upper teenaged—daughters. I've thought about the languages through their State school that they've had a taste of or a touch of, and what that has done for them. I quickly jotted down that they've had Spanish, French, Te Reo Māori, and sign language. I wanted them to pick up Mandarin; they weren't so keen. Mum was a bit disappointed, but the point is, they had opportunities, but at the schools that they attended, there wasn't the resourcing to carry on some of these opportunities. It was sort of a stop and start experience for us as a family. So what this bill is doing is looking at a framework, and a comprehensive framework that we hope will have cross-party parliamentary support—apart from New Zealand First—to have a pathway for children here in New Zealand. The Minister, should this progress, will be required to consult on and gazette a national languages policy, something that we don't have—something that this country needs.
