What are you doing with the TPPA?

Louis made this Official Information request to Minister of Trade

The request was refused by Minister of Trade.

From: Louis

Dear Minister of Trade,

I believe that secret deals are harmful to our country and democracy.
I request to be given a full draft copy of the TPPA before it is signed. Also, I request that the implications of the TPPA for New Zealanders be made public knowledge.

Yours faithfully,

Louis Hefford

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.
