My question goes to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister assure the House that neither his office nor his department leaked official and private correspondence from the government of Japan? And what steps has he taken to satisfy himself that this is the case?

I thank the member for his question. We take our relationship seriously, including our obligations for engagement, including with Japan. I note that, in a political stunt from the opposition, they have referred matters to the AFP. The AFP is, of course, completely independent of the government, and they'll undertake their work and I'm confident about that.
