Yes, the bill will go to a select committee. But the select committee process is based on the principle that recommended changes to the bill can then made before the bill is passed into law. In this case, many parts of the bill are not likely to be negotiable because they are already agreed and not negotiable.
However there may be some items that are not like this. I see in the agreement that some articles say "Party's shall implement..." and others say "Party's may implement...". Presumable the 'may's are still up for debate in the parliament.
