What I can confirm to you is that the sentencing that will be applied now to foreign bribes—Canadians who are bribing foreigners—will be the same as Canadians bribing Canadians. So what we are doing with this legislation is ensuring that there isn't a double standard, that when Canadians go overseas and bribe others, they will be suffering the same penalty as Canadians bribing other Canadians.
