Thank you, Senator Bernardi. I think we all appreciate your brevity in raising this issue. But I would like to reconfirm the government's position—that we will not be supporting this amendment, because we don't believe the sunset clause is a positive step. In fact, it's quite retrograde and will completely undermine the TPP-11 agreement.
