To clarify, we relied primarily on the names provided by the RCMP, but there were obligations under the order separate from that, which required banks to make their own determinations. We did not rely on external information. I know there have been suggestions of leaked donor lists, etc., but we did not rely on that information at all. What banks were obligated to do was to apply their normal risk-based approach in monitoring their accounts, as they would do for money laundering or what have you, and if, looking through the lens of the activities in Ottawa, something was then flagged, then there would be an obligation to freeze.
