The anti-corruption regime in Canada is likely about to get a lot stronger, significantly impacting the enforcement risks for Canadian companies operating at home and abroad.  In February of this year, a bill was introduced in the Canadian Parliament to significantly amend Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (CFPOA).  The decision to strengthen the CFPOA comes on the heels of significant criticism leveled against the Canadian government over the past several years for its lack of anti-corruption enforcement.  The amendments are expected to pass the legislature in the near future.  In a guest article, Mara V.J. Senn and Mauricio Almar, partner and associate, respectively, at Arnold & Porter LLP, discuss the proposed amendments, how they will impact Canadian companies and others subject to the CFPOA, and draw comparisons and contrasts with the FCPA.
