Canadian Corporations: Immigration

Canada In October Dept: Only one company has been found guilty of paying a bribe to a foreign government official since the federal government passed legislation in 1999 to comply with OECD's global antibribery convention. The OECD, which has been monitoring all signatories to the convention since it was adopted in 1998, said it has "significant concerns" about Canada's anti-bribery law and its enforcement capabilities, according to Vancouver Sun. "Given the size of Canada's economy and its high-risk industries, the working group recommends Canada review its law implementing the convention and its approach to enforcement to determine why it has only had one conviction to date," concluded the report released Monday Canada, given its leading role in the corruption-prone global mining sector, should be producing better results in its battle launched a dozen years ago to fight against the bribery of foreign government officials by Canadian corporations, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said Monday. It drew its conclusions after a socalled working group of U.S. and Austrian government experts on bribery visited Canada in October, following up on a 2004 on-site assessment of the federal government's performance.
