Ottawa says only about half the value of the tickets handed out during the “Freedom Convoy” have been paid.
Concrete barriers have restricted access to Wellington Street near Parliament Hill since last year's convoy protests.
Between Jan. 28 and Feb. 18, 2022, officials issued 3,812 parking tickets and 318 provincial offence notices for illegal parking, including on private property and in no-parking zones.Unpaid fines can lead to licence plate denial or the fines can be transferred to property taxes, garnished from wages or referred to a collection agency – though it is not clear whether Ottawa has taken any of these steps.
Last year, the government set aside $6.9 million to cover costs of the protests in Windsor, Ont., where protesters blockaded Canada's busiest border crossing.
