Te Pire mō Te Reo Māori / Māori Language Bill

Last night leave was given in the House for all provisions of this bill to be taken as one question. The question for debate is, therefore, that Te Wāhanga 1AA to Te Wāhanga 4, Parts 1AA to 4, te āpitihanga 1 to te āpitihanga 8, and schedules 1 to 8 stand part. Before I call Marama Fox, who had the call last time we were debating this bill, I just want to indicate to the Committee that all calls taken previously will not be counted and we will start again for the purposes of members’ ability to speak to the bill. I am sure that the Chair will tend to recognise people who have not had a call yet, but we are not going to limit people by the fact that they have previously had calls on this.

Te Wāhanga 1AA to Te Wāhanga 4, Parts 1AA to 4, te āpitihanga 1 to te āpitihanga 8, and schedules 1 to 8
