“Canada’s Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Regime is in place to protect the safety of Canadians, the security of Canadian businesses and the integrity of Canada’s financial system. The obligations in the Act deter criminals and terrorists from operating in the legitimate economy and ensure that FINTRAC receives the reporting needed to generate actionable financial intelligence in support of law enforcement and national security investigations. We will take firm action, when it is required, to ensure that businesses do their part and fulfill these obligations," Stéphane Sirard, Interim Director and Chief Executive Officer, Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada.
