Justice Minister David Lametti labelled people who donated to the trucker’s Freedom Convoy as members of “a pro-Trump movement,” and said those who donate large amounts to protests declared illegal by the government may have their bank accounts frozen.

Lametti made the comment during an interview with CTV News’ Evan Solomon on Feb. 16, after Solomon asked whether Canadians who donated to the convoy protest could have their accounts seized.
