The National Party has a long, proud history of pursuing and securing high-quality, comprehensive trade agreements, and this is no exception. This House has the Hon Tim Groser to thank for that. Therefore, I join my colleagues in supporting this Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Legislation Bill and extend my warm greetings to the peoples of those RCEP nations. I do this because trade is about people, people who like us, who like our products, and who want to do business with us. We have come a long way from sending shiploads of frozen mutton from Port Chalmers to London in the 19th century, and that's in part due to this country's liberalised trade agenda but also to the agility and ambition of our exporters, particularly our primary producers. We now export about $82 billion in goods and services every year, and trade supports 600,000 Kiwis into jobs.
