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 those who allowed it to happen.

A national public inquiry into money laundering would be beneficial, no matter which party wins the federal election, says British Columbia's attorney general.

Last week’s column about B.C.’s housing affordability crisis didn’t mention the role of dirty money in the dramatic rise in real estate prices.

The Trudeau government made an “unreasonable” legal mistake when it approved Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, says a lawyer for the B.C. government.

Two key British Columbia cabinet ministers are expected to outline the government's next steps Thursday on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion after campaigning against the project.
