The CEOs of major Canadian banks suggested to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland that Freedom Convoy protesters should be designated as terrorists to facilitate imposing financial sanctions, according to a readout of the call between Freeland and bank executives on Feb. 13.

“Let me start by saying all options are on the table and we take very seriously what is happening. Want your inputs on what we might do,” said Freeland at the beginning of the meeting, according to the readout entered as evidence at the Public Order Emergency Commission on Nov. 24.
