I just want to follow up on Mr. Blaikie's line of questioning.
Is there anything stopping you from asking the financial institutions to send notices out to people who have had their accounts frozen under the Emergencies Act? I don't believe there is. I'm a lawyer. I don't think there's anything stopping you from asking them.
I can't tell you how many Canadians there are like the 80-year-old gentleman who called me and said “I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to eat tomorrow, because my account might be frozen because I gave 50 bucks to the convoy when it was legal.”
They're terrified out there. There has to be something you and your department can do to alleviate this fear.
