TPPA

Maxim Brown made this Official Information request to Minister of Trade

The request was refused by Minister of Trade.

From: Maxim Brown

December 19, 2014

Dear Minister of Trade, I am requesting that the draft text of the TPPA is made public. I am deeply shocked that something that can affect the public in this way is being kept behind closed doors. There is nothing good about this deal. Why would we allow corporations to take over our sovereignty and our rights to things like safe food and affordable medicine? The public would not agree to this in a million years.

Yours faithfully,

Maxim Brown

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.
