STUART SMITH (National—Kaikōura): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It’s a pleasure to speak on the Water Services Acts Repeal Bill. One thing about democracy is it is a contest of ideas and we’ve heard that playing out in the debate this morning. This is only a few months after the election where all of the coalition parties campaigned on doing what we are doing right now. The people spoke, and the people gave the coalition an overwhelming victory, and we’re delivering on our promises. That’s something that the National Party, the ACT Party, and New Zealand First will do: we’ll make promises and we will deliver on them. So, with that, I commend the bill to the House.
