But my concern is that we often do these things and governments even introduce them for largely symbolic reasons, in wanting to say that “it's not just that we don't like this, but we really don't like this”. Then we're left with this situation now where we are facing legislation, which I expect all of us will end up supporting, and we have this illogical relationship between this particular set of standards and the standards that we set for ourselves within the country.
I would hesitate to put words in Ms. Keeping's mouth, but in many of the publications of Transparency International, Canada is slowly slipping down in terms of where we stand now compared to other countries on this issue of corruption domestically, as well as how it affects foreign.... We can see from the behaviour of certain companies that the practices they thought were acceptable in other countries, they've imported back into Canada, and we're now watching this disease spread in our own country.
Mr. Ingram, do you have a comment on that?
Ms. Keeping? Go ahead, please.
