My question is again to the Special Minister of State. I refer to the minister's answer yesterday in the House and to his answer just now. When asked the same question on 60 Minutes last year, the minister responded, 'Yes, I did.' Minister, what has changed? Why won't he repeat that answer now? Is the reason he will not repeat that answer now that the government believes that such an action is inappropriate?

Again I thank you for the question and remind you that these matters are subject to other inquiries. There is nothing further that I can to what I have said in the statements.
