Guy NathanHon NATHAN GUY (National—Ōtaki): Thank you Mr Chair. It's a great opportunity to take a call—and I'm not sure why the Government wants to close down the debate on such a very serious and important issue. I would have thought the whip from Canterbury the Hon Ruth Dyson would have realised how important this bill is to her constituents particularly out there on the Port Hills—quite a few farmers and growers out there. But anyway we should focus on Part 2 of this bill this evening.But before I do that I want to acknowledge the two former Ministers: in particular Tim Groser for the work that he did in the early stages; and Todd McClay the former Minister of Trade in the last National Government for the work that he did. There was a huge amount of work to get to this point and I know David Parker with the support of the Prime Minister came in and did a couple of title changes and here we are now with the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (CPTPPA) and it's a very important bill that we have in front of us.I want to talk specifically about tariffs this evening which is a part of Part 2—it deals with the Tariff Act 1988. I also in passing want to mention the uniform rules. I haven't been able to find that particular part. It might be in the schedule or indeed because this is quite a technical bill it might be elsewhere. I'd be very keen to hear from the Minister about that particular part to do with uniform rules and I'll come on to that in a moment.But it's interesting from the outset to acknowledge the Minister in the chair the Hon Damien O'Connor. He wears a couple of hats in the Government and the interesting one is that he had a title change recently in terms of one of his portfolios. Not many people will realise that Damien O'Connor was the Associate Minister for Trade and—CHAIRPERSON (Adrian Rurawhe): The member needs to come to Part 2.Hon NATHAN GUY: Yes I will come to Part 2. The Minister—CHAIRPERSON (Adrian Rurawhe): He actually needs to do that straight away.Hon NATHAN GUY: Yes I'm coming to Part 2 now Mr Chair. In particular I want to talk to you about—CHAIRPERSON (Adrian Rurawhe): Well relevance will become an issue.Hon NATHAN GUY: —the Tariff Act but in doing so we have the Minister in the chair who is the Minister of Agriculture. He is now also the Minister of State for Trade and Export Growth and it relates to in particular Part 2.A few months back he was the Associate Minister for Trade and Export Growth but what is not well understood is he couldn't get appointments around the world so they had to come up and create a new name which is the Minister of State for Trade and Export Growth so he could meet other Ministers around the world. He nods and glows and looks down at his papers and he knows exactly what I'm referring to.Now in particular the Tariff Act of 1988 is really important and I'm disappointed by the Green Party's minority view and their amendments that relate to Part 2 this evening because the Greens obviously don't care about free trade. When you think about the Tariff Act and the savings for the New Zealand economy and for our farmers and our growers it indeed is immense: $222 million of tariff savings as a result of this bill passing. Admittedly it will take some time but there is about $92 million of tariff savings that come directly after this law comes into force. That money flows into the New Zealand economy. There are over 600000 jobs in New Zealand that relate to exports and when you think about those other 10 countries that this very important bill and law relates to—and I want to importantly touch on a couple of things. One is that there are 480 million people in this huge bloc that we are now going to have almost free trade access to. There is 9 percent on the beef tariff into Japan. Unfortunately we couldn't get that down much lower. That may be in time and of course when everyone flocks there for the Rugby World Cup not only will they want to consume Japanese beef they'll be looking I'm sure for some New Zealand lean beef on the menu as well. Whether it will be there by that time or not I'm not quite sure. What I'm keen to hear from the Minister a little bit this evening if we can is about these uniform rules because for exporters from New Zealand—[Time expired]
