The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: If the Committee would show a bit of patience there are a few that I have dealt with. It is around omitting “Conservation” and substituting “Department of Conservation”. In Speakers’ ruling 114/1 although there is a somewhat subjective judgment on behalf of the Chair I am guided by minor word changes or alternative forms of words as in Speaker’s ruling 111/3. Those are the things taken into consideration.

The amendments to amend the definitions of “privilege” “proposed plan” “public notice” “quota management system” “recognition order” “regional council” “regional document” “register” and “resource consent” are ruled out.

 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson.

By the time you got to make your ruling you had already made it before I could get back up again. So I would appreciate having the opportunity to speak to this part. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I have to say to the member that I was being particularly attentive and I did not notice him. That is probably my mistake. His objection to my not giving him a call is noted and I will be more vigilant in the future.

[Volume:670;Page:17251] 
Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Labour—Hutt South) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. It is a relatively obvious one. The Minister for the Rugby World Cup cannot have responsibility for the advice that is given by agencies for which he is not responsible. Clearly for those agencies further down the line such as the Ministry of Economic Development and Rugby World Cup 2011 he does have responsibility but he cannot have responsibility for advice given—as it was in this case—by the Prime Minister’s office and the department because he is not part of that chain. I know this is a hard question but we have seen I think 17 public statements from the Prime Minister in the last day on this issue and it seems to me that even if the Prime Minister is not able to answer the question it would have been better to leave it to the Prime Minister—

The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The next amendment in the name of Hilary Calvert on Supplementary Order Paper 209 to clause 4(1)(d) is ruled out of order as not being a serious amendment. Hilary Calvert’s next amendment to clause 4(2)— 
Hon John Boscawen 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. You have ruled out Hilary Calvert’s amendment to paragraph (d) of clause 4(1). You say that it is not a serious amendment. What we have done there is to substitute the words “Treaty of Waitangi” for “te Tiriti o Waitangi”. We noticed that the Hon Christopher Finlayson has changed the wording on his Supplementary Order Paper from “whanau hapu iwi.” to “iwi whanau hapu.” So if it is good enough for the Hon Christopher Finlayson to change around word order surely it is good enough for the ACT Party to move amendments that do the same.

Interruption 
] I think we might have just done that one. I am sorry. I am getting confused—I have amendments crossed out. I apologise to the Committee. So the next amendments which are to clause 5(b) and (c) set out on Supplementary Order Paper 209 are out of order as is the first amendment to clause 7. We then go to Hilary Calvert’s amendment to clause 7 to insert a definition— 
Hon David Parker 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. At the risk of disagreeing I am not sure that we did do the first amendment to clause 5(b). I do not think it had been put. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy)

Hon David Parker 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I am unclear. Which one did we pass and which one has been ruled out of order? 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: We have not passed any. They have all been voted down. 
Hon David Parker 
: Which one was voted down and which was ruled out of order? You have described them both as amendments to paragraph (b). 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: There are two amendments to clause 5(b). The first one we voted on and the second one is out of order as is the one to clause 7. 
Hon John Boscawen 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. You have just used the words “as is the one to clause 7.” There are actually several amendments to clause 7— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The first amendment to clause 7. If the member was listening before I started on the second clause 7 amendment which is in order. We are now going to vote on it—the one that inserts a definition of “directly affected” as set out on Supplementary Order Paper 209. That is the one we are now voting on. Is everybody clear? 
The question was put that the amendment set out on Supplementary Order Paper 209 in the name of Hilary Calvert to clause 7 to insert a definition of “directly affected” be agreed to.

STUART NASH (Labour) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Just very briefly. You mentioned there had been 27 calls on this debate and that some people had spoken three times. Speakers’ ruling 65/1 states: “The moving of a closure motion is treated as a speech.” I think you may find that a number of those 27 calls if not half were probably closure motions because at the end of every Labour Opposition ACT or other speech a closure motion was put by the Government. 
Mr SPEAKER 
: I have made a ruling and therefore the matter is now closed. I declare the House back in Committee. 
Hon John Boscawen 
: Point of order—

Hon DARREN HUGHES (Senior Whip—Labour) 
: 
 Mr Speaker I do not want to comment on the substance of the motion moved by Mr Boscawen to recall you; he has given his reasons to you for that. The only thing I would note—not by way of challenging the Chairman—is that we started the debate on Part 1 the part we are currently on at a quarter to 5. So we have spent about an hour and three-quarters on Part 1. I think the Chairman has added together the debate on the preamble and the debate on Part 1 to get to that figure he used of 2½ hours. It has certainly been a substantial debate and I think that has been because there have been so many amendments set out on the Minister’s Supplementary Order Paper. That might be of some help to you as you are reflecting on the ruling you will inevitably make.

The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Mr Speaker the Committee of the whole House has determined that you should be recalled to rule on my decision to take a closure on Part 1 of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill. Debate on Part 1 has included clauses 3 to 10 and schedule 1. There have been a number of amendments to the bill but the debate has been going for just on 2½ hours. There have been 27 calls. Every single member in the Chamber who has been seeking a call has had an opportunity to have at least one call; some members have called three times. I considered that the debate had reached a conclusion so I accepted the call for the closure.

Hon JOHN BOSCAWEN (Whip—ACT) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I wonder whether I could speak to the reasons I have asked for you to come back to the Chamber. It is hard to imagine a more important and wide-ranging bill before this House in this 3-year parliamentary term. The ACT Party has strong opposition to this bill. We have lodged hundreds of amendments; some are very substantial. We gave notice to the Chair that we wanted to debate those amendments and we gave notice to the Speaker of a number of issues that we wanted to raise. For example clause 4(1)(a) talks about protecting the legitimate interests of all New Zealanders. We think this bill protects the legitimate interests of only some New Zealanders. We are being denied the chance to put our arguments. We think that the closure has been put far too early and we ask that you rule that the ACT Party has the right to speak to its amendments and to oppose this bill in the vigorous way it deserves to be opposed.

SIMON BRIDGES (National—Tauranga) 
 to the  
Minister for Building and Construction 
: What advice has he received from the Department of Building and Housing regarding last month’s Christchurch earthquake? 
Hon MAURICE WILLIAMSON (Minister for Building and Construction) 
: 
 The Department of Building and Housing has commenced an investigation into the performance of some key buildings in Christchurch in last month’s earthquake. The investigation will include the CTV building the Pyne Gould building the Forsyth Barr building and indeed the Hotel Grand Chancellor. The department will investigate why these buildings collapsed or suffered serious damage in last month’s quake by gathering information on the original design and construction of the buildings the impact of any alterations to those buildings and how they performed in the September fore-quake. The investigation will also consider how the current building code compares with overseas codes for earthquakes. The department’s investigation is separate from the royal commission of inquiry announced by the Prime Minister on Monday. However the technical information provided by the departmental investigation will inform and assist the royal commission of inquiry. The investigation will proceed as quickly as possible. However this is an important task and it is vital that we get it right. 
Simon Bridges 
: How can people contribute any information they have on these buildings to the Department of Building and Housing? 
Hon MAURICE WILLIAMSON 
: The department wants to hear from people who have firsthand accounts from working in these buildings or who have photographs or video footage that will assist the inquiry. Anybody who has such information can contact the department on 0800 242 243 or email it to chchinvestigation@dbh.govt.nz.

Mr SPEAKER 
: My understanding is that when this question was transferred the wording was amended so that the question still focused on the advice that the Prime Minister the Government or Rugby New Zealand 2011 had been given. The focus of the question remains on what the Prime Minister knows about it. Obviously in transferring the question one would expect that the Minister for the Rugby World Cup would have knowledge of that or the question should not have been transferred. It is very simple: questions should not be transferred to avoid their being answered by the only person who might have knowledge of something.

Hon John Boscawen 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I understand that you are taking the vote that we stop debate on this part of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: No let me correct the member. I am giving the Committee the opportunity to decide whether this is the termination of the debate. 
Hon John Boscawen 
: I raise a point of order Chairperson. This is very important legislation. It has far-reaching ramifications for all New Zealanders. There is a massive transfer of wealth from all New Zealanders to selected iwi and the ACT Party has already— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I have taken all those things into consideration— 
Hon John Boscawen 
: Point of order— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I am on my feet. I intend to put the motion. 
Stuart Nash 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I will hear the member. 
Stuart Nash 
: I ask for clarification Mr Chairperson as a new member because sometimes we are a little bit hazy on these rules. I understood that you cannot put the motion if new information in the bill had been brought forward. Am I wrong in that? 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I make a judgment across a range of things as to when it is time for the closure. I take the matter very seriously and the member will be aware that I have been in Parliament for some time. It is not my intention to curtail debate for the sake of being obstreperous so I am going to put the motion. 
Hon John Boscawen 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. The ACT Party has given notice that we have suggested a number of amendments on this bill. You seem to be denying us the chance to put them and I ask that the Speaker be recalled. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The member is entitled to do that. I can forecast what the result will be; it has happened several times. If the member wants to do that that is his right. 
Hon John Boscawen 
: I move  
That the Speaker be recalled.  
Motion agreed to.

[Volume:670;Page:17181] 
Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Attorney-General) 
: 
 The preamble is a reasonably brief part of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill but it sets out quite a lot of history. Recital (1) states that the starting point of the debate over the foreshore and seabed which has gone on for many years was the decision of the Court of Appeal in  
Attorney-General v Ngati Apa 
. The response of the Government of the day was the Foreshore and Seabed Act of 2004. 
It is worth recalling a little of the parliamentary history of that legislation. The bill was introduced and referred to a special select committee the Fisheries and Other Sea-related Legislation Committee then reported back to Parliament whereupon the bill proceeded under urgency: its second reading Committee stage and third reading occurred within one sitting day. It is interesting to observe when one considers the legislative history of the matter that during that period of urgency the Government tabled numerous Supplementary Order Papers making significant changes to the bill including the 67-page Supplementary Order Paper 302 which Opposition MPs were given to digest during their 1-hour dinner break. 
The legislation was—I believe in good faith—aimed at securing an enduring resolution of this vexed issue but that did not prove to be the case. Indeed there has been both national and international criticism of the legislation. I refer for example to recital (2) which sets out the report of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the report of the special rapporteur Mr Stavenhagen who came to New Zealand and expressed his concerns about the legislation. 
It is notable that last year another special rapporteur Mr James Anaya of the University of Arizona came to New Zealand. He recently produced a report that stated he was “pleased to hear of recent legislative developments aimed at addressing the concerns raised by Maori regarding the Foreshore and Seabed Act of 2004.” and that the bill that is now before the Committee represented “a notable effort to reverse some of the principal areas of concern of the 2004 Foreshore and Seabed Act.” 
Recital (3) recounts the history of the matter since this Government came into power and refers to the report of the ministerial review panel and to the work undertaken to achieve an enduring solution. Recital (4) talks about what the proposed Act will take into account. A couple of minor amendments to the preamble are proposed: reordering words and so on and introducing the concept of manaakitanga. 
The preamble as I say sets out the history of the matter and represents the endeavours by this Government to find an enduring solution to what I acknowledge has been a vexed problem for many years.

[Volume:670;Page:17299] 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: The Speaker has been recalled and we will have some decorum in this House. This is disgraceful. 
Mr Speaker you have been recalled on a matter that relates to interpretation during the casting of a vote. The genesis of this matter goes back a little further. The honourable member from the Maori Party Te Ururoa Flavell challenged the vote cast by the Independent member Hone Harawira saying that he included in his vote reference to whanau—to the family as such. I ruled at that stage. Speaker’s ruling 67/7 states: “On a party vote the Clerk names the party by its official name and the whip responsible for voting then gives the vote. No other comment at all is allowed.” As a consequence I asked for a reassurance from the member who had cast the vote on whether he had voted against the amendment that we were considering. He gave an assurance to the Committee and I took him at his word that that was in fact correct. 
Subsequent to that when we moved to the next amendment to be voted on the Hon Trevor Mallard cast the vote in Maori and the interpretation that came back satisfied in my view the Clerk at the Table who told me that Labour had voted 42 votes against. 
The question arises whether the interpreter has a role in just announcing the result or whether he needs to interpret it further. My view is that when other parties cast their vote they cast it for or against and no other comment is made. That is what Speaker’s ruling 67/7 states. In my mind I was satisfied that the vote cast by Labour when translated by the interpreter to the Clerk beside me was correct. On that basis I was happy with that decision. Subsequently there has been a challenge to my ruling in that respect and you have been recalled Mr Speaker to adjudicate. 
Mr SPEAKER
