BC Liberals Interim Leader Shirley Bond is testifying today (Thursday) at the Cullen Commission hearings related to money laundering in our province.
While the BC Liberals were in power, Bond was a cabinet minister who oversaw several portfolios including:
- Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General
- Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice
She along with the rest of her colleagues is looking forward to airing their side of the story.
“This is the opportunity for the government to provide its record in terms of what it accomplished and what it did. We provided all of the requested materials to the commission so I look forward to having the opportunity as will my colleagues on the actions our government took.”
“There are no restrictions related to cabinet confidence we waived that and all of the cabinet records were released. We look forward to the opportunity to provide our information.”
Other members from the previous Liberal government that has already testified or are on the list include:
- Christy Clark, Former Premier
- Michael de Jong, Former Minister of Finance
Premier John Horgan launched the inquiry two years ago after four separate reviews found high levels of money laundering in the real estate market, casinos, and other sectors of the economy.
The Cullen Commission held a public meeting in Prince George in November of 2019.
