JO LUXTON (Labour—Rangitata): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I'm really pleased to rise and take a call on the Forests (Legal Harvest Assurance) Amendment Bill as the chair of the select committee that will be looking after this piece of legislation. As the Minister outlined in his contribution, the economic and ecological losses from illegally harvested forests have massive impact right across the world. We heard that, for our economy, it's worth $6.7 billion and we employ 35,000 people within the forestry sector, so it makes absolute sense that we would look to bring this piece of legislation in.
