But he admitted there will still be opposition to the agreement.
Mr McClay said there are some legitimate concerns and he will be addressing them.
"But it's also fair to say there are other people in New Zealand who probably are just protesting for the sake of it or will never like a free trade agreement.
"Whilst I respect they are able to have that views, very much we've got to talk about the benefits for New Zealand."
