Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you, Madam Chair.

Declaration of Emergency committee  No, it isn't. It happens quite often.

Declaration of Emergency committee  What campaign owners do as a fundraising effort, we don't say is necessarily sharing the hope of Jesus. What we do, in our engagement with those campaign owners, is sharing the hope of Jesus. There's definitely a distinction there. As to the question about that memorandum, or what you're suggesting, the parties who were involved in the fundraising piece made no reference to that.

Declaration of Emergency committee  There is a vetting process, because, currently, if you are a terrorist, or if you are a person of interest, you're placed on lists. If you've defrauded banks and you've been added to lists, you're not able to avail yourself of the financial infrastructure. When you're vetted, you're vetted as a person who is able to access banking infrastructure, and you haven't broken laws that would disavail you of those things.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Not that I'm aware of. We had fundraisers prior to January 6 for people going to a rally in Washington, D.C. That was the extent of those campaigns—to get airfare and lodging in D.C. on the days...for the rally that was happening on January 6, yes.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Well, it sounds like you're stating misinformation.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Not to my understanding, no.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Sure. Thank you for the question. When somebody comes onto GiveSendGo, prior to going through a process called KYC, or “know your customer”, which is a regulatory process of identifying who the person is who is receiving funds, we allow campaigns to begin receiving funds. Prior to them receiving those funds, they go through a process of becoming identified through a social security number or a licence or some form of identification.

Declaration of Emergency committee  That's correct.

Declaration of Emergency committee  When people onboard from foreign countries, they go through that same process that's required of that country for them to be able to access the financial system, so everybody who comes on board in Canada goes through the process of being verified in Canada according to the Canadian standards for being able to access the financial system.

Declaration of Emergency committee  That information is submitted through our payment solution into a database. We don't hold those numbers personally ourselves. The number goes into a database, and the identity is verified by the input of that information and also an ID, some sort of government-issued identification.

Declaration of Emergency committee  We verify the receivers of funds.

Declaration of Emergency committee  They're not considered a terrorist organization in the United States.

Declaration of Emergency committee  That's correct.

Declaration of Emergency committee  No. We were not aware of anything like that.
