The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade deal that would make it easier for Canadian companies to sell their goods and services in the U.S., Mexico, Australia and eight other Pacific Rim countries. The deal will benefit Canadian service companies who will be able to open up operations in Asian and South American countries. Opponents argue that this bill will incentivize Canadian companies to move service and manufacturing jobs overseas. Proponents argue that it would make Canadian companies more successful at selling their goods and services in Pacific Rim countries, leading to a stronger economy, more jobs and higher incomes for Canadian workers.

a trade treaty is a good idea but this will incentivize companies to move jobs out of the country so if moving jobs outside a country is prevented in some way then yes.

Yes, this might lead to economic growth.

Yes, as long as said oversea country also gets a part of the profit
