The SPEAKER (2:15 PM) —I inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon members of an APEC delegation from New Zealand. This is the eighth delegation under APEC from New Zealand. It comprises a member of the parliament, Iain Lees-Galloway, who is accompanied by senior members of parliament staff. I notice the trans-Tasman strength of the whips club. The leader of the delegation is the house manager for the government whips’ office. That will go without comment from me—but I am worried about the whips getting control! In all seriousness, I iterate the expressions of condolence and solidarity with the people of New Zealand. I would ask that the delegation take those expressions of sympathy back with them. I warmly welcome you today.

Honourable members—Hear, hear!
