In terms of Canada's record, we've not dedicated the same resources, even on a per capita basis, that the U.S. has dedicated to investigations of foreign corruption. In terms of prosecuting and enforcing the law on foreign corruption, that involves investigations and prosecutions and taking matters to trial. It's the entire range. So entering into a deferred prosecution agreement with a company that has been charged would not indicate lax enforcement by Canada, in my view. What indicates lax enforcement is probably more the number of investigations and the length of time. That's because foreign corruption is very complex to investigate and very resource-intensive. You have to go to multiple jurisdictions and review millions of documents to piece together a corruption case.
As a result, one of those tools, such as a deferred prosecution agreement, would likely assist Canada in upping its game regarding enforcement of foreign corruption, because it would promote corporations to come in and self-report. It even can be a condition of a deferred prosecution agreement that they self-report and that they identify and provide information about the nature of the conduct and identify the individuals who engaged in the conduct. That would allow Canada to prosecute the individuals in a much more streamlined fashion with the collaboration from a corporation that has replaced its C-suite and replaced its board of directors with new individuals who are taking the corporation in a direction of enhanced compliance.
