Being a proud Canterbury MP, I remember a time when the Canterbury rebuild was a top priority for a Government. The last National Government made it one of its top four priorities. We had John Key, the Prime Minister and a Cantabrian, and we had Gerry Brownlee leading it, as the Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration. We had the Hon Amy Adams and the Hon Nicky Wagner, senior Ministers driving from the front bench to make sure the second-biggest city in New Zealand, that punches well above its weight in GDP, was rebuilt.
