Mr Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity to speak this evening on Te Pire mō te Hararei Tūmatanui o te Kāhui o Matariki/Te Kāhui o Matariki Public Holiday Bill. The Matariki bill is in front of us this evening at this second reading, and it's been an honour to be a part of our Māori Affairs Committee, who have heard the oral submissions, heard from communities, heard from Māori, heard from business owners about their aspirations for this particular kaupapa, what Matariki can bring, and the economic benefits of Matariki too. I want to reflect on my time, and I take the point from the chair of our Māori Affairs committee, Tāmati Coffey. He acknowledged that there was once upon a time where all of us, even being Māori, didn't know the knowledge, the mātauranga, of Matariki.
