MATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I rise on behalf of the National Party to oppose the Canterbury Regional Council (Ngāi Tahu Representation) Bill in its third reading. Can I acknowledge my parliamentary colleague Rino Tirikatene, Tā Tīpene O'Regan, and Ngāi Tahu, who are here today. Can I acknowledge Ngāi Tahu as mana whenua of the Waimakariri electorate and I acknowledge the proud history between Ngāi Tahu and the National Party.
