LIBERALS PAY LIP SERVICE TO FIGHTING FOREIGN BRIBERY

 The study, which covers 2016 to 2019, concludes that only four countries actively enforce against foreign bribery: the U.S., the U.K., Switzerland and Israel.

Canada, on the other hand, ranks well lower and is considered to be a country with “limited” enforcement since 2016. That puts us on par with Denmark, Costa Rica, Argentina, Columbia, and well below other major allies such as Germany, France and Australia.

Over the past three years, Canada has only “opened two new investigations, commenced one new case and concluded four cases with sanctions. This is based on the limited information available, as there are no official publicly available statistics on the number of investigations commenced,” the report details.
