Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being with us here today, and for sharing your knowledge and experience with us as this committee works it way through some pretty tough questions.
My first question is for GoFundMe.
Mr. Benitez, you said in your opening statement—and it's been repeated a few times since then—that your organization supports peaceful protests, provided they are within your terms of service. I notice that you said peaceful protests, not necessarily lawful protests. I wonder if you could make a distinction there.
For example, let's say there was a GoFundMe campaign to support people protesting the harvesting of old growth forest in my home province of British Columbia, even if that were against a court-ordered injunction. There could be a protest against pipeline development, even though it's against the laws of trespass. In this case, it was a peaceful protest that did not comply with the city of Ottawa parking bylaws.
What's the distinction between lawful and peaceful?
