TI Canada's Executive Director Alesia Nahirny and several TI Canada Board Members participated in an event organized by the Institute for Research for Research on Public Policy "Assessing Canada's Policies on the Integrity Framework and Corporate Wrongdoing." Some of the questions discussed by the expert panel were:
What are the main policy instruments used in Canada to combat 'white collar' crime? Have these instruments been effective?
How should the Canadian government respond to incidents of corporate wrongdoing to preserve the integrity of procurement process and public trust?
How do existing rules affect the ability of Canadian firms to compete globally - are Canadian penalties weaker, stiffer or similar than those in other countries for the same offences?
Should the federal government consider adopting deferred-prosecution agreements?
The IRPP is due to publish its report in early 2016 and it will be posted on our website.
