MUZZLED!
Gomery Inquiry once again under publication ban!
"MONTREAL (CP) - Advertising executive Paul Coffin took the stand at the sponsorship inquiry Tuesday under a publication ban aimed at protecting his right to a fair trial on fraud charges related to the sponsorship program.
Coffin is the second ad executive to testify under the ban imposed last month by inquiry judge John Gomery, who also barred media from reporting on testimony by ad executive Jean Brault.
Testimony by Chuck Guite, the bureaucrat who ran the sponsorship program, will also fall under the ban. He's expected to testify at the inquiry later this week.
Gomery could allow media to report all or part of Coffin's testimony when the ad man wraps up his testimony this week."
I guess they didn't get the message the first time.
