Former BC premier Christy Clark spent the morning testifying before BC's money laundering inquiry.
Clark led the Liberal government between 2011 and 2017, a period when several NDP reports say a rapid growth in money laundering occurred in BC's casinos, real estate and luxury car industries.
Clark testified she first heard about a spike in suspicious cash through BC casinos in 2015 and says her government acted quickly to implement a report recommending changes to anti-money laundering strategies.
The NDP ordered inquiry is examining how money laundering flourished, and Clark says confirmation of the effectiveness of her government's approach "is that the current government is continuing with those actions."
