The road to reaching settlement is a long and complex process, and this journey has had many bumps along the way. Together we are addressing grievances which will cause hurt and pain today. It's the Crown's wish that this settlement marks a new day in the relationship between Ngāti Kahungunu and the Crown. Today is about acknowledging the past and looking forward to the future. It's been a long journey to come to this day. No settlement can fully atone for the wrongdoing of the Crown or compensate Ngāti Kahungunu for the hurt they have endured, but I sincerely hope this settlement is the beginning of a stronger relationship between Ngāti Kahungunu and the Crown, based on mutual trust, cooperation, and respect for Te Tiriti and its principles. I propose the bill should proceed without delay to the Māori Affairs Committee. I commend this bill to the House. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
