The deadline for the final report of British Columbia’s public inquiry into money laundering has been extended until June 3.
The B.C. government says in a statement the report’s submission had previously been due May 20, but the extension is a result of several members of the Cullen Commission inquiry team contracting COVID-19.
Commissioner Austin Cullen says his team members have since recovered and are healthy and working on the report.
Cullen himself did not contract COVID-19.
