Ian Mulgrew: Politicians in crosshairs of B.C.’s money-laundering inquiry
Former Liberal Premier Christy Clark, her controversial minister, Rich Coleman, and crusading NDP Attorney General David Eby will be in the commission’s crosshairs.
After nearly two years of sometimes eye-glazing testimony, B.C.’s inquiry into money laundering will begin grilling politicians this week about dirty cash distorting the provincial economy.
Former Liberal Premier Christy Clark, her controversial minister Rich Coleman, and crusading NDP Attorney-General David Eby will be in the commission’s crosshairs.
The inquiry’s focus on the government’s response to the apparent money-laundering crisis starts today online with Sam MacLeod, the assistant deputy minister and general-manager of the regulatory Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch.
The public, however, will probably want to connect Tuesday to hear from Clark, premier from 2011 to 2017, when the flood of suspicious cash swamped B.C. casinos.
