Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his compliment on my moustache. It is very gratefully received, but I do not thank him for not answering the question. I will persist. Given that the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement may contain provisions weakening the government's ability to negotiate lower prices for PBS medicines, will the minister confirm that Australia will not sign on to this treaty if there is any potential to compromise our ability to deliver medicines to the Australian people at the lowest possible price?
