Todd McClay: Trade Minister on the India Free Trade Agreement and NZ First pulling support
The Minister for Trade's attempting to put to bed concerns about our Free Trade Agreement with India, repeatedly voiced by the NZ First leader.
Winston Peters claims it will let tens of thousands more Indian migrants enter the country.
The Prime Minister has denied the assertion.
Todd McClay told Mike Hosking there are no rights around migration in the agreement – instead it allows skilled workers to come to New Zealand for a limit of three years.
He says trade deals are complicated and complex, but we do very well out of this deal.
