VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier David Eby says he’ll call a public inquiry into Saturday’s deadly vehicle ramming at a Vancouver festival if the criminal case doesn’t provide answers the public is looking for.
Eby says if it weren’t for the police investigation and upcoming criminal trial, his government would call an inquiry now.
A 30-year-old man faces eight counts of second-degree murder after 11 people were killed and dozens more were hurt at the Filipino community’s Lapu Lapu Day festival.
More coming.
