This Supplementary Order Paper proposes to amend the Bill by inserting new clauses 3A and 3B to set out the context for an apology by the Crown to Iwi Māori. New clause 3A makes provision for the recognition of the impact of the Native Schools Act 1867 and subsequent government policy. This led to the degradation of the Māori language and the systemic loss of customs, tradition, and identity. New clause 3B includes an apology on behalf of the Crown and an ongoing commitment as a Treaty partner to uphold its obligation to protect the language and participate in its ongoing revitalisation and growth. These clauses do not prevent the Crown from including specific apologies to Iwi within the context of the Treaty Settlement process, it does however provide an overarching context for the partnership model proposed in the Bill.
