Villains or Victims? Analyzing the Canada Revenue Agency’s Role in Countering Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Offences in Canadian Charities
Abstract
This paper addresses the role of Canadian charities in the global fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. It highlights how Canadian charities with altruistic motives can suffer as victims both from abuse by bad actors and from the unintended consequences of disproportionate regulation. This paper suggests that Canada’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regime should evolve to treat charities as co-collaborators in the global fight against terrorist financing instead of villainous vehicles for terrorist entities.
