Minister, I know it's not your fault that you've been put up to answer these questions without much background in the TPP and what's happened over the last decade or so, but I really think you should be more cooperative because people are watching you right now and it's clear you can't answer the question. You actually don't know the answer to that question, which is very embarrassing. Prove me wrong by actually answering the question; I'm very happy for you to do that. We have people looking at it right now and I'm very happy to keep talking until I get a copy of the Hansard and I can show you up for what you are. You have not answered that question.
