As you know, the labour movement is very diverse and regionally based across the country.
It might be the case that labour representatives whom I have not heard of have spoken to the Department of Foreign Affairs in the context of the negotiations. But to my knowledge, we have not been approached.
We have found the process quite closed and would echo the concern that there's not enough information being shared. It will be one of our recommendations that the committee suggest that in this negotiation and in others there be a free and open discussion about the issues that are being dealt with before the negotiations are heading towards the end of the path—right at the inception, right when the actual concepts about the free trade agreements are even thought of. We think there should be open discussion all the way along.
