Dare I ask what the Gomery Inquiry is? Or would people risk prosecution for answering that question? :-) David...
According to our own encyclopedia, it's investigating the [[Sponsorship scandal]] that involves the misuse of funds by the Canadian Liberal Party.
And an important section of the public inquiry into that scandal is currently the subject of a publication ban, meaning the public isn't allowed to know what's being said at the public inquiry ... ;-)
So far the publication ban has been limited to the testimony of Jean Brault, Paul Coffin and Charles Guité because they are scheduled to go to trial soon for fraud in the whole affair. The excuse that has been proferred for the publication ban has been that it would affect his ability to have an impartial jury for his trial.
