Have you received, sir, a lot of advertisement or some advertisement?
Liberal
Jim Karygiannis Liberal Scarborough—Agincourt, ON
Sir, would I be wrong to say that some of this advertisement that you have received might today sort of cloud your judgment?
Naeem (Nick) Noorani
I would respectfully disagree, sir. Apart from being a publisher, I am known as an immigrant advocate and have spoken out against several governments. My support is based on issues that I believe are good for my country.

Jim Karygiannis Liberal Scarborough—Agincourt, ON
Mr. Noorani, would I be correct in saying that some of your publications in the last couple of years have been towards the favour of the Conservative government? Yes or no, sir.

That's fine, but you can't tell me, sir, what to ask a witness. I'm asking him if he received ads.
