Finance committee  I can't confirm whether insurance companies received any information, but they were responsible for checking whether policyholders were in contravention of the order.

Finance committee  I'm listening.

Finance committee  The SAAQ, itself, is not covered.

Finance committee  Yes, but the insurers covered by the order are supposed to take the necessary measures if they know, for instance, that a vehicle is being used as part of a blockade or unlawful assembly. If the SAAQ had such information, it should have suspended truckers' insurance policies. No

Finance committee  I can only assume that, if information was shared, it came from the RCMP, but I prefer to let the RCMP answer that question. The Department of Finance wasn't involved in that step.

Finance committee  I certainly think it did. With a lot of these people who were involved, trucking is their livelihood. Understanding that your insurance could be suspended, I think, would be an incentive to stop the illegal behaviours.

Finance committee  Yes, Mr. Chair. Thank you for the question. We realized that there were gaps in the system as to what our colleagues at the Financial Transaction and Report Analysis Centre of Canada, FINTRAC, could capture. We realized that it didn't capture crowdfunding platforms—not all of th

Finance committee  Cryptocurrencies were already covered, although what was not covered is the reporting by crowdfunding platforms and payment service providers. My colleague, Julien Brazeau, may want to add to this question.

Finance committee  To make these permanent, we have two options. We can do it by way of legislation, which includes regulation. We can make them permanent by way of regulations.
