Thanks so much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of the witnesses before us today. Thank you so much for your time. This is a very important meeting on the implications of the Emergencies Act, particularly the economic order measure. Thank you for being here with us today.
I just want to start off very quickly. I know that GoFundMe indicated that a high percentage of the donations that came in to them for the “trucker convoy”, which I'll put in quotes, came from Canadians. I do want to put on the record though, Mr. Chair—and I think it is important to do so—that according to a February 14 Toronto Star article, “Nearly 41 per cent of the more than $10.7 million donated to the 'Freedom convoy' through an online fundraising site has come from the United States, leaked data suggests.” I think it is very important to put that on the record. We have found that sources have validated that, indeed, foreign investments have gone into the “freedom convoy”.
