Keynote Speaker: Hon. Roy Cullen, P.C., C.A.

Mr. Roy Cullen is the author of the Poverty of Corrupt Nations, which investigates the relationship between global corruption and money laundering to international poverty, terrorism and global migration patterns. Mr. Cullen, whom retired in 2008 as a Member of Parliament, has been passionately working towards impeding corruption for years, through for example, his involvement in designing and implementing Canada's anti-money-laundering regime as parliamentary secretary to the minister of finance and through his active engagement and leadership in GOPAC (Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption), since 2000, prior to it being officially founded. GOPAC is an international parliamentary organisation which focuses on combating corruption, with over 900 members from 90 nations. Mr. Cullen is the current director of GOPAC and a team leader of the GOPAC Anti Money Laundering Global Task Force.

In September, Roy Cullen chaired the meeting of the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption Anti-Money Laundering Global Task Force, in Paris, with the intention of establishing tools, techniques and materials for the purposes of helping serve parliamentarians from around the world with the monitoring of anti-money laundering regimes. Representatives from the Financial Action Task Force, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and Interpol, assisted with presentations, and an Action Guide handbook is currently being developed which will serve as a guide for opposing corruption by Parliamentarians around the world.

We look forward to hearing our guest, Mr. Cullen speak at the 2011 UBCMUN Conference.
