British Columbia's attorney general says he's heartened that his federal counterpart has pledged to assist in improving Ottawa's responses at the public inquiry into money laundering in the province.
David Eby says he called Public Safety Minister Bill Blair to discuss concerns raised by inquiry commissioner Austin Cullen in a report released yesterday.
Cullen says Canada's financial intelligence agency, Fintrac, was slow to comply with obligations to provide documents relevant to the inquiry.
Eby says Blair told him Ottawa will soon announce changes in federal policing related to dirty money in BC.
