Initial Policy Measures to Strengthen Canada’s Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Regime – SEA Public Statement

In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals (2010), a Preliminary Scan was conducted for this Proposal: Initial Policy Measures to Strengthen Canada’s Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Regime.  The Preliminary Scan indicated that the proposal is unlikely to result in important environmental effects.  The proposal is of a legislative nature, with the intent of facilitating access by investigative authorities to information on individuals with significant control within corporations’ registers, and help strengthen the anti-money laundering framework in Canada.
