Public Safety committee  It was very unprecedented, 100% yes.

Public Safety committee  No, definitely not. In Canada, and even here in the U.S., we don't.... One, GiveSendGo doesn't fund things. People start campaigns themselves and they get funding from their supporters, but that really doesn't happen anyways, anywhere.

Public Safety committee  Correct. That is correct.

Public Safety committee  Sure. It was very little. There's a lot of misconception, a lot of misinformation, even from the last session that I heard. GiveSendGo had very little, if any, involvement in January 6. We have allowed campaign owners to create campaigns and to proceed in legal activities, and one of those is their right to assembly and right to protest government.

Public Safety committee  I would probably guesstimate $10,000 to $15,000.

Public Safety committee  We have no evidence to support that. People obviously like to make claims to support their viewpoints.

Public Safety committee  Which campaign are you referencing?

Public Safety committee  The page has actually not been shut down. It's ongoing.

Public Safety committee  We were never contacted by the government or law enforcement agencies there. We heard reports of the government doing various things, but they never reached out to us that we were aware of.

Public Safety committee  Obviously, like you mentioned, the amount of traffic and volume was unprecedented. We are sizeably smaller than GoFundMe. There was an inundation of emails and a variety of things, so our team was handling it as best as they could. Things may have slipped through the cracks, but we were unaware of anything.

Public Safety committee  Great. Thank you so much, Mr. Chair, members of Parliament, for inviting us to be here today. It is our privilege to speak to you. My opening statement is going to be brief. GiveSendGo was started by my sister Heather and me eight years ago. Our mission statement is to share the hope of Jesus through crowdfunding, which is our platform—a crowdfunding platform.

Public Safety committee  Yes, that is an appropriate breakdown of the funds.
