in the text, I don’t know.

Ah.  Somehow I was hoping for an actual quote that said "allow working people from all signing countries to move freely to all other signing countries".  If that's not in there (or at least something that clearly says the same thing) then I can't use it to complain to my lawmakers.

I thought it was still under lock and key. Is the entire document at your link, or is some still secret?

It's what everyone in the trade office says we got, but if they're secretly hiding something then nobody would ever know --not even the foreigners wanting to 'move freely'-- so then it wouldn't be a problem.
