Ian Mulgrew: Christy Clark testifies ‘we took significant action’ against money laundering in B.C.
Former B.C. Liberal premier parries testy questions before Cullen Commission, maintains ‘we recognized it was a serious problem.’
Turning aside testy questions and commission counsel’s snipe that she wasn’t answering, Clark insisted anti-money laundering was a priority for her government.
“We recognized it was a serious problem in the province. We were taking action to deal with it … We took significant action in the years that I was there and I think the confirmation of its effectiveness is that the current government is continuing with those actions that we undertook … Did I do something about it? The answer is yes.”
Her appearance lasted barely two hours.
