Barker Rick: Aquaculture Legislation Amendment Bill (No 3) — In Committee 
[Sitting date: 16 August 2011. Volume:675;Page:20942. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
Hon RICK BARKER (Labour) 
: 
 I want to ask the Minister in the chair the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture a question. I would like to know from the Minister in respect of the Aquaculture Legislation Amendment Bill (No 3) how many amendments he has moved to which he has moved amendments. I think it is very important for us to have some figures. And how confident is the Minister that his amendments to the amendments do not require further amendments? We are in his hands on this. We would like to take the Minister on trust. We know he works very hard at this but we would be very interested to know how many amendments the Minister has moved to amendments whether we will have any amendments to the amendments to the amendments and whether they are reliable. 
The question was put that the following amendments in the name of the Hon Phil Heatley to the proposed amendments to Part 3 set out on Supplementary Order Paper 277 in his name be agreed to: 
to omit from the proposed amendments to clause 50(2) the second amendment to paragraph (a) of the definition of  
new space 
.; 
to omit from the amendment to clause 50(2) new paragraph (aa); and 
to insert the following item after the item relating to clause 50(2): 
Clause 51 
To add the following subsection: 
(2)Section 5(1) is amended by inserting the following paragraph after paragraph (a): 
“(aa)includes any authorisations provided to the trustee by a regional council in accordance with an Order in Council under section 165I or a notice in the  
Gazette 
 under section 165L of the Resource Management Act 1991 for the purpose of giving effect to the Crown’s obligations under this Act; and”. 
Amendments to the amendments agreed to. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The next question is that the Minister’s amendments as amended as set out on Supplementary Order Paper 277 to amendments set out on Supplementary Order Paper 264 be agreed to. Those of that opinion will say Aye— 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: Mr Chairman— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Is this a point of order? 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: No. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: It can only be a point of order once I have— 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: No we have not had a closure. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: We do not need to have a closure. No one took the call and I have— 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: That’s right. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: No one took a call. I proceeded with the questions so we are now doing the questions. That is what we are doing. 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I know that the rules have changed over the years but unless the rules have changed when an amendment—or even an amendment to an amendment and an amendment—has been dealt with we are still faced with a live question. The live question is that the part as amended by the amendment as amended stand part. That is the question that is before the Committee now. It is a different question from what was there before and it is my understanding that one can take a call. If we had had a closure of course one could not. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I just refer to Speaker’s ruling 115/1: “In committee when no member wishes to speak further to a question whether or not a closure has been moved the chairperson proceeds to put all amendments …”. I shall continue. 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Can you let us know when you have put all of the amendments because I want to speak at that point to the part. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: It is my understanding that the part is to be voted on at that point. Yes I am correct.

Amendments to the amendments agreed to.
