| I know that the legislation is not supported by the confederation of iwi in Tainu. |
| We said that surely on issues of whangai, the expressions in the bill should be closely aligned to what that iwi wanted. |
| All along iwi have said that what they wanted was the recognition of their mana and kaitiaki. |
| This model does not give fisheries to the Maori hapu and iwi that had them. |
| They should tell us how the various iwi or hapu will be recognised so as to receive their entitlement. |
| I would like to take a moment to greet the kaumatua and iwi representatives present in the gallery. |
