The Agenda with Steve Paikin

View Transcript

Details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership have raised many questions. What's in the deal's fine print? Will it be ratified across the 12 member states? Can it go forward if the largest partner, the United States, doesn't pass it in Congress? Will Canada's new Liberal government seek to change the terms? The Agenda convenes a panel to discuss the meaning and impact of the long-awaited trade partnership.
