TI-Canada letter to Minister Diane Finley re PWGSC Integrity Framework

Letter to Minister Diane FinleyTI-Canada has sent this letter to The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), with regard to observations concerning amendments to PWGSC’s Integrity Framework, which governs accountability and integrity in government procurement and real property transactions.TI-Canada believes in striking the right balance and arriving at a durable Canadian solution that is effective in fighting corruption, induces positive change in business practices and enjoys broad support, all of which will take time and careful consideration. As PWGSC reviews the Integrity Framework, TI-Canada, with its considerable anti-corruption and transparency expertise, believes that it can play a useful role in this process.
