> Joining Newshub Nation on Saturday, ACT leader and incoming Regulation Minister David Seymour admitted coalition partners National and NZ First were sceptical of the \[Treaty\] referendum.  
>  
> He said the compromise was a law be drafted, debated in Parliament and sent to a Select Committee.  
>  
> That would “allow people to have a say about our Treaty principles”, Seymour added.

Seymour then said, “I suspect people are going to really welcome that conversation.”

> “It’s going to be a really positive thing,” Seymour told Newshub Nation.  
>  
> “People who are out there saying, ‘This is all terrible – we’re not allowed to have that debate’… Hang on a minute, debating the principles of the Treaty actually increases the mana of the Treaty because we’re finally talking about it democratically.”
