I also have to table a statement, Madam Chair, from Fasken Martineau. It begins by saying:
Fasken Martineau, a leading international business law and litigation firm, made the following statement concerning comments made today before a House of Commons committee.
Mr. Brown was referring to it in his questioning.
In November 2006, Mr. Nazim Gillani of International Strategic Investments approached Fasken Martineau through one its partners, Alfred Apps, in connection with legal advice/services for International Strategic Investments.
Mr. Apps met with Mr. Gillani, received documents from Mr. Gillani and accepted a retainer cheque from Mr. Gillani...
Very shortly thereafter, Fasken Martineau declined to act on behalf of International Strategic Investments. Mr. Apps so advised Mr. Gillani and returned the retainer to Mr. Gillani.
I'd like to table this.
