Labour's issued a list of demands for the Government before it will sign up to the Free Trade Agreement with India.
Chris Hipkins says the FTA needs stronger safeguards against exploiting migrants.
He wants the full official advice on the deal released to Labour.
He says the Party's particularly concerned around the expectation Kiwi businesses will invest $33 billion in India over 15 years.
"I think it's almost entirely impossible, and that's why I'm surprised that they're trying to sign us up to that. To put that into context, I think that over the last 25 years, less than $1 billion NZD has been invested in India."
