McKelvie IanIAN McKELVIE (National—Rangitīkei): Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. If there's one sure thing in life it's that you always get caught out in the end. I'd spent a whole lot of time in the early days of this bill telling Steffan Browning what a wonderful bill he'd designed and how great a job he'd done of bringing it to the House and I get stood up by the ex-Minister Nathan Guy and told it was a dog of a bill and probably it was. Fortunately the last speaker Kiritapu Allan backed me up to some extent but I do apologise to Steffan for leading him astray if he's in the House because it did take a little bit of getting into shape.I also want to acknowledge Gareth Hughes who got this bill through the House after Steffan left. Like him I have a bit of an interesting time with bacon too because whilst I'm not a vegetarian I don't like shiny meat and many will know the reasons for that: actually shiny meat has got a whole lot of additives so how can it be a pure product? It can't be. Anyway that's a little beside the point as well.I just want to make a couple of comments on this and one of them related I think to discussions that many people in this House have had in the course of the progress that we made with the geographical indicators bill where this topic came up time after time. Interestingly the chairman of New Zealand Pork is in the House as well tonight and he would've been part of that very same discussion—so there's a lot of people in this House who have had a discussion on this issue. I think there was a will right throughout the House to try and make this sort of thing work and so I want to congratulate the Primary Production Committee on getting to where they got to with it really because I think they've done a great job of it. And I want to congratulate the House on getting to that point too during the discussion in the committee stage. So I think it's an excellently put together bill in the end.I also think that when you look at the international market place almost everywhere you go in the world now you'll see country-of-origin labelling—not used as Nathan Guy said to mean food safety or any better than anything else; but it's sold by country. You'll go to a supermarket in the United States for example and meat is sold by the country it comes from not necessarily by how good or bad it is but it's how it's labelled. And you see that in Singapore and right throughout Asia as well. So it's becoming very prevalent. And I also think that we're going to see this bill being the forerunner to many alterations to this in the future enhancing this type of labelling and that's because consumers want to know about it.The last point I want to make and it did relate to the geographical indicators bill is that there was a lot of talk about the fact that this could be used as a trade barrier. There was never an intention for that to happen and I don't think there's any danger of that happening either. I think it's purely information really. It gives people information about where their food comes from and that gives them comfort to continue down the path and use that. So that's pretty much all I want to contribute to the third reading of this bill. I congratulate all those who are associated with it. I think it's quite exciting that it's got through the House. Thank you.
