I can understand that, but at 2,600 pages, this "thing" is not a free trade agreement, its some kind of entity that deals with trade, in some places, and protectionism in others, but a "free trade agreement" it is not, not by the definitions used by either free traders or protectionists.
I will be the first to admit, I have not read the agreement, but I would like to see any kind of future agreement, to be limited in size, simple in design, easy to understand for parties affected (either helped or hindered), and brief.
The kind of agreement, that does not require one to hire a lawyer to evaluate so it can be grasped, and where the reader or affected parties can draw their own conclusions to see if the agreement if beneficial or harmful to them.
