WEBINAR

In 2018 the Government of British Columbia announced the creation of two review processes to address money laundering BC Real Estate. One of the mandates of this panel was to advise the Minister of Finance on how regulation related primarily to the corporate and financial sectors can used to combat money laundering and market abuse related to the real estate market. Specifically, the Panel was expected to review BC’s financial regulatory system, examine international anti-money laundering best practices and make recommendations to improve the BC financial regulatory framework and integrate BC’s regime into core federal anti-money laundering legislation and practice.
