The next question I have is on intellectual property. The suspended provisions include those around patent term extensions. This is great, but of course there's the concern that these provisions will come back to life at some point in time, potentially if the U.S. decides to rejoin. These are certainly provisions that they pushed for in the original TPP. If that's the case, could the patent term extensions be granted retroactively? Is that part of the language in the CPTPP?
