I said I had read it. I said I wasn't involved in all the estimates questions that you referred to earlier. I must say you're doing a very good job on avoiding answering the question, with your little, granular details on this or that. I asked you: what can we use in this chapter of the TPP? We're about to enter into an agreement with Japan, along with 10 other countries in our region, that covers a whole range of impacts. What in here will allow us to hold the Japanese government to account? If you don't believe that's the case, then just say so. Please answer the question.
