The Māori Affairs Committee also referenced in its report two matters raised by submitters which were considered to be outside the scope of the bill, and I thought I would address them for the benefit of the House. The first was a request for wider recognition on the involvement of hapū and whānau in the allocation process for settlement assets, with an amendment requested to widen the definition of relevant iwi to include hapū and whānau. The Māori Affairs Committee were advised that these suggested amendments would require governance changes that are beyond the remit of the bill and would require substantive additional consultation, which would yet again further delay the transfer of settlement assets.
