Man says his rights violated by B.C.’s demand he explain source of money to buy house

A B.C. man says his constitutional rights will be violated by the province’s use of a new law to demand he detail the source of $1 million to buy a house on Salt Spring Island.

Skye Lee was named by the province in the first so-called unexplained wealth order action filed in B.C. Supreme Court last year as part of a case to have the home forfeited as proceeds of crime.
