My view, from having practised in commercial law for over 25 years in Canada, is that Canadian companies want to do the right thing, and from time to time they do get asked for these kinds of payments from foreign officials. They just want to know what they can do to protect themselves against any allegation that they're doing something improper. They want to know that they're playing on a level playing field with their foreign competitors.
The next question I have for you is if a Canadian company suspects that one of its foreign competitors is paying a bribe to a foreign government official in the third-party jurisdiction, can they report that fact to the RCMP?
