Mr. Kasra Nejatian at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I would like to say two things, if I may, Mr. Chair.

First, I have never owned any piece of furniture worth $1,400, I think.

Second, I have done human rights work on the Iranian issue. My family left Iran because I started getting into trouble at a young age. I worked at the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center in New Haven, Connecticut. If I went back to Iran, I don't think you would ever see me again. I have no intention of ever going back. I love...this is the greatest place in the world. I couldn't imagine leaving it.
