Corruption is an increasing issue across Canada. On Transparency International's 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index, Canada scored 76 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"). When ranked by score, Canada ranked 12th among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector.[1] For comparison with worldwide scores, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), the average score was 43, and the worst score was 11 (ranked 180).[2] For comparison with regional scores, Canada's score of 76 was the highest score among the countries of the Americas.[Note 1] Regionally, the average score was 43 and the lowest score was 13.[3]
Although Canada has the distinction of being the least corrupt government in the Americas as measured by the Corruption Perceptions Index, Canada's 2023 score of 76 is the first improvement after a slow decline to 74 in 2022 from Canada's highest score of 84 in 2012, when the current version of the Index was introduced.[2] Conflicts of interest within government, tax evasion, and the ease in which money can be laundered [4] are among some of the leading factors of corruption in Canada.
Canada ranks at the bottom of the bribery-fighting rankings with "little or no enforcement of anti-bribery measures".[5] The 2014 Ernst & Young global fraud survey found that "twenty percent of Canadian executives believe bribery and corruption are widespread in this country".[6]
Low enforcement of anti-corruption laws is evident as seen in the recent case against SNC-Lavalin; a Canadian construction company which allegedly paid US$48 million in bribes to Libyan officials [7] and has resulted in the resignation of several members within Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet.[8]
