Join TI Canada and our friends at TI UK for a digital dialogue exploring the lessons Canada can learn from the UK's recent election in terms of advocacy for the fight against corruption. Daniel Bruce, CEO of TI UK, will share his insights and perspectives following the recent UK election, and there will be an opportunity for dialogue with Daniel. After 14 years, the UK is undergoing a change in government. What implications will this have for anti-corruption efforts? How did TI UK engage with all political parties to prioritize integrity during the campaign? What expectations are there for the new government to address corruption issues? We hope you'll join us for this important discussion for important takeways that Canadians can apply ahead of an expected election in 2025.
