Dan Watson I would like to know how many Canadian companies have been accused of bribery that have not been prosecuted. I am not naive enough to think that Canadian companies do not engage in this behaviour but we are a small player in the global business environment compared to the G7 countries. I expect that the global business by USA, UK and Germany dwarfs Canadian trade. Ergo their "need" to give bribes would be very high also.
