This government has recognized the importance and the moral obligation of paying taxes, and we have introduced a bill called the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act.
I wonder if I could direct the question to you, Mr. Gillespie. This is a bill to fight bribery and corruption and to further deter and prevent Canadian companies from bribing foreign public officials. These amendments are in keeping with the OECD. I know that the OECD has been very active, as has the IMF, in combatting these illegal actions.
How important do you think continually ensuring that Canada has a strong framework to battle bribery and corruption is, both domestically and in setting a standard that others, especially those in developing countries, can follow? I'm referring to this act that was just introduced.
