... are you talking about? If this is the case, it's news to me. (By the way, not all lawyers are Notaries Public.)
However, I am a
real Bay Street lawyer at one of those ritzy Bay Street firms (and as a consequence, of course, am in the office on Thanksgiving Day and have been here all weekend, although the view from my 64th floor office is lovely) and I would be happy to provide this service free of charge to any FTers who happen to be in the vicinity!
