SIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Thank you, Mr Chair. Thank you for the opportunity to take a call on the Education (Vocational Education and Training Reform) Amendment Bill at this committee of the whole House stage. I intend to take a few calls on this part, being the substantive part in this bill. In the first call, I'd like to focus on the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (NZIST) council. In my second contribution I'd like to come back to talk about the Manukau Institute of Technology and concerns which had been raised in the south-east Auckland community.
