The creation of the TPP, in the works for over six years now, has been highly secretive with all the major corporate players given a seat at the table in writing the agreement, but with insanely onerous restrictions on who else might have a look. In fact, prior to Congress’ vote to allow the bill “fast-track” status last May, the only way even our elected representatives were allowed to view the text of the agreement was to enter a locked room with no cell phones or recording devices, no aides, and read it on the spot with no opportunity to even make copies.
