This was reported by the "CBC News".

Designating the Houthis as a terrorist entity allows Canadian banks to freeze any assets they have in Canada. It also permits police to charge anyone who supports them financially or materially.

People who are affiliated with the group are also barred from entry to Canada.

"Today's addition of Ansarallah as a listed terrorist entity contributes to our efforts in fighting terrorism globally and aligning Canada with our allies," Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a media statement Monday.

A government statement said Houthis have "contributed to unrest in the Middle East through numerous attacks targeting civilian and naval vessels on the Red Sea and other waterways, as well as those against Israel."
