Maniapoto descendants have continued to seek their mana whakahaere over their lands and people, and I hope that through the passage of this bill, Maniapoto and the Crown will take a step towards this aspiration. I look forward to continuing to take this legislation through the House to achieve the final settlement of your historical Treaty of Waitangi claims. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
