Are Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland's officials misleading her about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)?
Freeland signed the agreement Thursday in New Zealand, but repeated her assurances that critics shouldn't worry -- the government hasn't committed to ratifying it and consultations and a full debate will precede a vote in Parliament. That could be up to two years away.
Yet so far the consultation process has not penetrated the ideological bubble created by trade department officials.
