BitAccess, CaVirtex to Speak Before Canadian Senate Committee Today
09 April, 2014
Canada’s Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce is set to meet today (9th April) as part of a hearing that will aim to study the use of digital currency and feature notable members of the local community.
In attendance will be Haseeb Awan, co-founder of bitcoin ATM provider BitAccess; Joseph David, CEO of Calgary-based digital currency exchange CaVirtex; and Kyle Kemper and Victoria van Eyk, partners at Bitcoin Strategy Group, an organisation dedicated toward helping Canada’s bitcoin businesses develop their public image.
The in-person meeting is meant to educate the Senate committee on the benefits of bitcoin, as well as the different businesses that are providing bitcoin-based services, and is part of the group’s larger, 18-month study on the use of digital currencies.
