In a wide-ranging interview Thursday, Attorney General David Eby discussed everything from what kind of rate hikes the province’s drivers can expect to the possibility of a public inquiry into money laundering in B.C. casinos.

The decision on whether to mount a full public casino inquiry could largely hinge on the results of a meeting next month with the province’s former top cop on illegal gambling, Eby told the editorial board of The Vancouver Sun and Province.

Money laundering in B.C. casinos, one of several hot-button issues in Eby’s portfolio, has been in the headlines since last September when Eby ordered an independent casino review.

Next month, Fred Pinnock, the former head of B.C.’s Integrated Illegal Gambling Enforcement Team, will be accompanied by his own lawyer when he meets with outside counsel hired by the B.C. government, Eby said, adding: “It will take as long as it takes to get the information that’s necessary.”
