The government is also directing financial service providers to temporarily stop providing services to either personal or corporate accounts that they suspect are being used to further the “illegal blockades.”
Freeland delivered the update alongside Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair on Thursday. This means that in order for a company such as GiveSendGo, which is the current hosting platform for the convoy’s fundraising campaign, to operate in Canada, they are obliged to flag suspicious and large transactions,Freeland said she’s meeting frequently with the heads of Canada’s major banks, with the director of FINTRAC, and with the commissioner of the RCMP to discuss next steps.
“That is something that we, law enforcement, and the financial service providers have been working on very, very carefully. And that’s why I say the use of financial tools is actually going to increase in the coming days because it was important for us to be sure that safeguards were in place,” she said.
