WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The Council of Canadians has argued that the country is likely to lose 58,000 jobs as a result of implementing the TPP deal.
"The groups will remind the trade committee, composed of MPs from three federal parties, about the growing opposition to the TPP," the press release stated.
In February, the United States, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam signed the TPP free trade agreement.
Under the deal, a free trade zone was established between the 12 nations, which constitute 40 percent of the world’s GDP.
