Release the draft text of the TPPA BEFORE it is signed please.

Ian Todd made this Official Information request to Minister of Trade

The request was refused by Minister of Trade.

From: Ian Todd

Dear Minister of Trade,

This agreement will bind countless generations of New Zealanders to something many people believe is a corporate bill of rights.

We have a right to know. Kindly allow the text to be debated, not just ratified by Parliament.

Yours faithfully,
Ian Todd

Minister of Trade

On behalf of Hon Tim Groser, thank you for your email.  Your
correspondence has been noted and will be recorded.

 

All correspondence, including email,  is routed through our mail tracking
process.  Although e-mail increases the speed of delivery, the
“behind-the-scenes” efforts of the Minister’s staff in responding to
mail cannot always provide the kind of speedy response users of email may
anticipate.

 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, if it is
obvious that you are writing only to express a personal view your opinion
will be noted but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.

 

Thank you again.
