That is, assuming the TPP Treaty is Ratified. No Guarantees, Mr. Bond...
Until then, it is not in force.
Plus, we don't know what is in the treaty. Based on the "lame duck" scenario, it could be passed by Congress before the US Citizens ever got a chance to read it...(The most likely scenario... The President starts the 90 day timer at the start of the "lame duck" session, and the Congress votes in the first 30 days of a "lame duck" session. (After all, you only have the window of the first Wednesday in November, until the January 3rd. That's only 60 days or so...with no requirement to use all 60 days...) The public does not get to read it until the last 60 days of the 90 day timer...)
Our best hope is some other country publishes the text...
