Public Safety committee I'd like to thank the witnesses from GiveSendGo for being here and for taking the time. Just to preface my comments, I found it interesting that you didn't have any substantive opening remarks similar to the other witness who came here from GoFundMe and from PayPal and from Stripe.

Public Safety committee At this time. So when were you aware that Proud Boys is a terrorist organization?
March 3rd, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee In 2019. So it's been quite a while. We appreciate that you now are aware that Proud Boys is a terror group in Canada. My understanding is that your organization helped support $375,000 in crowdfunding for at least 11 members of the Proud Boys. Is that accurate?
March 3rd, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee Thank you for confirming that. In terms of what happened with respect to the convoy here in Canada, as a result of the Government of Ontario's actions, $8 million was frozen that you were facilitating. You were certainly aware of that, weren't you?

Public Safety committee How did you hear about that?

Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee Thank you so much.
March 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee Thank you. I want to turn the floor back again to the minister around upstream and downstream programs. I know you were elaborating on them. I'd like to hear if you have more to say. As Madame Michaud said, we don't have you every day at committee, so I just want to give you that space and time, please.
March 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee Yes, certainly. You touched briefly upon culture and the changing culture within the police force. Can you elaborate a bit more upon that?
March 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee We heard also from the president of the Winnipeg Police Association, Maurice Sabourin. He spoke about how he would like to see more resources for intervention. Do you have any programs that deal with intervention upstream to prevent people getting into gangs that will obviously help mitigate the gun crimes that we're talking about?
March 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee Thank you. I'd like to turn now to the minister regarding upstream programs that are essentially preventing people from entering gangs and downstream ones in helping people to exit gangs. Minister, would you like to share any programs or policies regarding those two ends?
March 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Public Safety committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. Minister, thank you for being here, and thank you to all of the other witnesses. I'm going to focus my questions on upstream, downstream and diversity inclusion generally. I'd like to start off with Commissioner Lucki. We heard in previous testimony from Assistant Professor Robert Henry, who is with the Department of Indigenous Studies at the University of Saskatchewan, that “hiring more indigenous officers without changing the culture of policing itself does not actually make a bit of difference”.
March 1st, 2022Committee meeting

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee Yes—100%. What you're raising here goes into our testimony and raises the issue. Thank you so much to all of the witnesses.
February 28th, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee That's not a problem. I'll shift gears to Ms. Denise Byrnes. Would you like to speak to that? I have a question for you afterward on another matter.
February 28th, 2022Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee You highlighted Turkey. I hear that is a space where many Uighurs are currently living in third countries. I want to shift gears for a moment. You touched briefly upon India. Can you elaborate a bit more on that? You didn't really speak much to it. We have about five minutes left in my questions.
