Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll turn to Ms. Carroll and Stripe.
Just help me walk through the timeline here, because GoFundMe announced that it was suspending the campaign on February 4, and that was after a well-publicized report from the Ottawa Police Service. On February 6, the City of Ottawa declared a local state of emergency, and by February 10, GiveSendGo had raised $8.4 million. That's four days after a local state of emergency, when there were widespread police reports that things were going south in Ottawa, and it took a court order from the Government of Ontario to essentially freeze those millions of dollars.
I think we all have a question here. How did Stripe allow this to go so far? Were you not aware of what was happening with these funds? Why did your internal mechanisms fail to address this?
