Canada Welcomes British Columbia Anti Money Laundering Report

 

Canada, Canada -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2022 -- The Cullen Commission report - the final report of the Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia - has been released and promptly welcomed by the Canadian government. Canada's federal government released a statement saying that it takes the issues of money laundering and financial terrorist financing very seriously and will continue to review Canada's Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing (AML/ATF) Regime in the light of the Cullen Commission report. The government also responded to many of the recommendations in the report, including with respect to strengthening the existing regime. More than $48.8 million has been invested in the federal regime since 2019, including with respect to information sharing and data resources. AML software is highly likely to play a key role in creating a more robust structure going forward. The additional review to be undertaken by the government in response to the report from the Cullen Commission will look for places where the current regime, and previous investments, fall short. In particular, this will investigate how the authorities detect, deter, and investigate financial crimes. A new legislative review has also been announced, which will focus on the digitisation of money, including cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.
