MPs agree to call GoFundMe to testify over trucker convoy fundraiser​

Fundraising website GoFundMe has been called to testify at the House of Commons Public Safety and National Security Committee about what safeguards it has in place when it comes to releasing the nearly $10.1M of funds raised for the trucker convoy.

MPs on the committee voted unanimously on Thursday afternoon to invite representatives to appear “as soon as possible,” after NDP MP and public safety critic Alistair MacGregor proposed the study during a meeting.

MacGregor told the committee that he wants to ensure that the company prevents the use of anonymity to funnel money to extremist groups.

“GoFundMe are accountable for their role in this debacle, and it is incumbent on Parliamentarians to ask them these important questions,” he said in a statement following the meeting. “We have a responsibility to Canadians to keep them safe.”
