Justice Minister David Lametti yesterday addressed his previous threat made in February that bank accounts of “pro-Trump” Freedom Convoy donors were at risk of being frozen after the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act.

Lametti made the comment while appearing on CTV News’ “Power Play” on Feb. 16, in response to reporter Evan Solomon’s question on which individuals should be concerned about their bank accounts being frozen for donating to the Convoy.
