A House of Commons committee wants to hear from the fundraiser platform GoFundMe about the millions of dollars collected so far by the organizers of the “Freedom Convoy,” as trucks continue blocking streets in downtown Ottawa.
On Feb. 3, the Committee on Public Safety and National Security voted unanimously on a motion put forward by NDP MP Alistair McGregor to have GoFundMe testify “as soon as possible” to learn about the source of the funds and what safeguards are in place to ensure the money isn’t used to “promote extremism.”
