British Columbia Attorney General David Eby listens during a news conference in Vancouver, on Friday May 24, 2019. British Columbia's attorney general hopes an inquiry into money laundering will answer lingering questions about how the criminal activity flourished in the province and identify specific people who allowed it to happen.

Attorney General David Eby is calling on the B.C. Liberals to stop withholding relevant cabinet documents to the provincial inquiry into money laundering.

Eby says the Liberals have now received the entire package of relevant cabinet records related to money laundering while they were in power but former finance minister Mike de Jong is trying to cherry pick which documents are provided to the Cullen Commission.

He spoke as opening remarks began at the inquiry called last year after three reports revealed that casinos and horse racing as well as the real estate and luxury car markets had become laundromats for the proceeds of crime.

Provincial lawyer Jacqueline Hughes told the commission that money laundering is not a victimless crime but has hurt B.C. residents by distorting the economy, fuelling the opioid crisis and overheating the real estate market.
