Abstract

ABSTRACTThe fight against the breed of corruption that exists in Canada today requires a two-pronged approach: reduction of economic rents that can be exploited through corruption, and increase in the cost of engaging in corruption. Most of the recent efforts within Canada have targeted the second approach. Attempts are being made to weaken the link between private business and public officials (elected or appointed) through constraints on political contributions, lobbying abilities and the exchange of gifts. The challenge is to also allow competition to prevail while limiting the misuse of the regulatory powers of the government. In addition, Canada must make a serious effort to decrease its acceptance of corruption abroad.
