Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri):That member Kelvin Davis had 5 minutes to set out his vision and he squandered it. I learnt more from Steffan Browning’s speech than I did from that member’s speech. Steffan Browning’s speech was more coherent.It does not seem that long ago that I attended the International Cricket Council Cricket World Cup opening in Christchurch. There was a sense of excitement there was a sense of optimism and there was a sense of hope. I would like to acknowledge the fantastic win by the Black Caps over South Africa. Like many New Zealanders I was tucked up in bed last night enjoying a cup of tea and watching a fantastic game. I wish the Black Caps all the best for their game on Sunday. Watching Grant Elliott hit the six on the second to last ball reminded me of the cricket heroes that I grew up with: the big-hitting Lance Cairns; the international all-rounder Richard Hadlee; the talented Crowe brothers Martin and Jeff; and the jovial wicketkeeper turned commentator Ian Smith. It is great that the young people of New Zealand will now grow up with their own cricket heroes.We have our own regional development heroes in the Government: our team captain the Prime Minister; our all-rounder Bill English; our fast bowler Steven Joyce; and a pair of safe hands our wicketkeeper Gerry Brownlee. Not only have we seen the rise of the Black Caps recently but we have seen the rise of another powerhouse: Canterbury regional development. After the devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 Canterbury regional development is getting back on its feet. We saw the Hagley Oval—what a great example of the first completed anchor project. Cantabrians are realising that not only are we building a new city but our infrastructure and our facilities will be the best in New Zealand like the Hagley Oval. Coming up we have the bus interchange the retail precinct the Avon River precinct the justice and emergency precinct the health precinct the innovation precinct and the performing arts precinct.Recovery is not easy; it takes time. Earthquake recovery is a key focus of mine. We are not just talking about bricks and mortar here. With a background in health—and specifically mental health—we know international research tells us that years 3 to 5 post-disaster are the most problematic for social and psychological recovery. I would like to remind people of the Canterbury District Health Board’s All Right? campaign. It is worth repeating that if people are still needing help it is all right to ask for help. I would ask my parliamentary colleagues to ensure that we continue to focus on the Canterbury earthquake recovery in 2015 and provide the support that Cantabrians need but the signs are encouraging. The 2014 Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority well-being survey reported that 77 percent of Cantabrians rated their quality of life as “good” or “very good”. These are the highest results for this survey in the last 4 years.We do need to remind ourselves that it is not the Christchurch recovery; it is the Canterbury recovery. In my electorate of Waimakariri the town of Kaiapoi was hard hit in the first earthquake in 2010. But this year 2015 is the year of milestones and new beginnings in the Canterbury earthquake recovery and in the recovery of the Waimakariri. It has been an honour and a privilege to speak at the opening of the new Ruataniwha Kaiapoi Civic Centre the opening of the Rangiora Town Hall and the opening of the Ashley Bridge and it was an honour and privilege to host the Prime Minister for the reopening of the Oxford Town Hall. These community assets are not only symbols of our recovery but of where we are going in the future. I am proud to be part of a Government that believes in community facilities for strong families and in caring facilities.We are looking forward to another great year ahead and I am looking forward to an open day for affordable housing in my electorate on Saturday where affordable housing is being provided for under $450000. Many of my constituents are looking forward to the KiwiSaver HomeStart loan package. Thank you.
