Todd McClay: Trade Minister on the India Free Trade Agreement and Labour's concerns

The Trade Minister doesn’t see anything material in Labour’s concerns over the India Free Trade Agreement.   New Zealand First's shunned the deal, leaving its coalition partners reliant on Labour to ratify it.   But Leader Chris Hipkins says his party's support can't be taken for granted, and he's concerned there's a mismatch between descriptions of the deal, and its contents.  Todd McClay told Mike Hosking they’re going to do this in good faith – a formal meeting has been set for tomorrow so they can go through the details and the advice, but it's rather straightforward.  But he says Labour needs to make a decision soon.   He says it’s important that Parliament as a whole gets to scrutinise the deal instead of having individual parties closing the door.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
