Reaction to Canada signing on the dotted line with the Trans Pacific Partnership this week has been generally good.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is completely on board saying it'll open new markets to Canadian companies, which is always a good thing.

However, they're less than pleased with the Harper Government handing over more than four billion dollars to the dairy, egg and poultry industry and a further billion to the auto industry to help compensate them for losses thanks to increased competition through the TPP.

The CTF's Federal Director Aaron Wudrick says both those industries need to sink or swim on their own merits.

"This is the reality for 99% of Canadians in their industries. Most people work in the private sector, their businesses have to survive. They don't have the government coming around saying 'Well, if you don't make enough money next year we'll just make up the difference for you.' It is very, very strange to me that there are folks in, for example, the dairy industry, that think that the laws of economics that apply to all the rest of us, for some reason shouldn't apply to them as well."

Wudrick says the Western Cattle and Pork Producers should do very well under the newly signed agreement, without receiving any government bail-out.
