FINTRAC presentation on April 20, 2009

On April 20, 2009, Jeanne M. Flemming, Director of Canada's Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FINTRAC) gave a presentation at the third annual managing internal and regulatory investigations conference held at the Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. She stated that money laundering has consequences for Canadian society because it allows criminal activity to expand and continue. As the criminals gain resources and power, the institutions of Canadian society - those that preserve law, order and good government - can suffer. We all have a stake in upholding the system's integrity and ensuring that dirty money stays out. (Read the Notes for the Presentation.)
