We've been meeting the business community.
There's a lot of interest in what New Zealand has to offer.
I guess, you know, they're a very large democracy as we are one of the world's first democracies.
They know that sometimes there's a bit of kicking and screaming along the way, but they're focusing on the positive part, how successful the deal is and just what it can deliver for the two countries.
No, I don't.
Labour has supported it, which is very helpful.
It'll be tabled in Parliament Tuesday, so your day there now.
It'll go after the committee.
There'll be interest from the public because it's a big deal, but there should be.
We'll get it back as quickly as we can.
And the Indian government and I, we're committed to trying to get it in place as quickly as possible this year.
so we can get those benefits of the extra stuff the Europeans got through that most-saved-nations treatment.
So it'll be head down, bum up and going as hard as we can to make sure every New Zealander can benefit from this free trade agreement.
Not a single thing at all.
This is a high-quality deal, similar to the others we've done.
We've been very open with the public.
You know, Labour have been through it just about more than my lawyers have, it feels like.
It is an opportunity for us to sell to 1.4 billion people.
India is celebrating, New Zealand is celebrating.
I reckon it's a good day for New Zealand trade.
