Canadians Leading the Anti-Corruption Movement

Transparency International Canada (TI Canada), Canada’s leading anti-corruption organization, welcomed the federal government’s decision to proceed with a new Financial Crimes Agency, included in the November 4 budget.

In a new report, “Screening for Risk in Licensing, Permitting, and Procurement,” we examined Licensing, Permitting, and Procurement requirements across multiple jurisdictions in Canada. When we looked at over 100+ provincial and territorial RFPs, we found that just 59% required the full names of beneficial owners, and only 0.8% required partial birth dates!
