Overview

The Cullen Commission was established in the wake of significant public concern about money laundering in British Columbia. The public was rightfully disturbed by the prospect of criminals laundering their cash and parking their illicit proceeds in this province. Commissioner was given a broad mandate to inquire into and report on money laundering in British Columbia, including:

• the extent, growth, evolution, and methods of money laundering in various sectors of the economy.
• the acts or omissions of responsible regulatory agencies and individuals that contributed to money laundering in the province.
• the effectiveness of the anti–money laundering efforts by these agencies and individuals; and
• barriers to effective law enforcement.
