Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that New Zealand was struck by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake on 22 February 2011;
2) further notes that more than 146 people have lost their lives in this disaster, causing widespread devastation to the city of Christchurch;
3) extends its condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives in this tragedy;
4) sympathises with the New Zealand government and the general populace during this time of mourning and grief;
5) acknowledges the assistance the international community has provided to victims of the earthquake; and
6) encourages this community to continue with support in whatever way possible.
Agreed to.
