"TPP organizers are going to incredible lengths to lock citizens out of these negotiations—when talks recently took place in Vancouver, Canada’s trade ministry instituted what amounted to a media blackout, even refusing to tell journalists in which part of town the talks were taking place. TPP documents are top secret—unless you’re one of just 600 big industry lobbyists invited to take part."

Apparently even government MPs (Canada) do not have access to the documents, but 600 lobbyists do. Wow can it be any more underhanded.
