Mr. Speaker, all members can agree that words matter and actions matter. I would like to get the hon. member's opinion on the justice minister's recent appearance on national television, when he spoke about the economic measures to be put in place. He mentioned that if people were part of a pro-Trump organization, they should be worried about their assets being frozen. Because of those words, I had calls from constituents, particularly from seniors. They are vaccinated, but they made a $70 donation to this cause. Are their bank accounts going to be frozen? I would like to hear the member's comments on that and the government's actions on this.

Madam Speaker, I am going to ask my colleague a question that I asked earlier and to which I did not get an answer. One of the main measures in this order involves freezing the bank accounts of Quebec and Canadian truckers, and we hear that they would be frozen for a week. Could the member give me more information on that? I imagine that some thought was given to this order. Is it for one week, yes or no?

Madam Speaker, this is another great opportunity for me. I asked that question this morning but did not get an answer. We are talking about finances. The order is meant to affect the personal finances of truckers, except it has unintended consequences. I think it is wrong. People's bank accounts are being frozen. This morning I asked whether they would be frozen for a week or a month. How long will these accounts be frozen? Will it affect people's credit ratings? This could destroy people.
