Well, those gifts wouldn't have, because of course these were received during visits to speakers in other countries normally, so the gifts were coming from the speaker or some other official in that country whom you met. They didn't normally have much impact on Canadian law in that sense. That was the bulk of the kinds of gifts we're talking about.
I did get some at events here in Ottawa on occasion too, but I wouldn't say that I ever felt that a gift affected my inclination to support or not support any particular bill that was before the House, if I had any say in it.
