On November 17, Transparency International Canada (TI Canada) submitted reports in response to Public Services and Procurement Canada’s (PSPC) open consultation between September 25 and November 17, 2017 on integrity regimes and deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs).
PSPC provided a discussion guide for their current thinking on both topics, which included a series of questions for which they sought specific advice.
TI Canada has responded to the specific questions in the discussion guides. For integrity regimes, TI Canada drew upon its previous 2015 public submission to the Government of Canada on this topic, which was attached as an annex.
For DPAs, TI Canada drew upon its pervious documents related to this subject, and were attached as annexes:
“Another Arrow in the Quiver? Consideration of a Deferred Prosecution Agreement Scheme in Canada”
Report “Victim Impact Surcharges in Corruption Offences”
The responses were discussed amongst TI Canada’s Legal Committee, and coordinated by TI Canada Chair Paul Lalonde and Treasurer, Stefan Hoffmann-Khunt.
