It looks at global corruption and offers legal reforms to fight it. It claims that compared to other advanced countries, Canada's transparency laws are weak. AdministrationPaul Lalonde is chair and president of Transparency International Canada.[1][2] BackgroundTIC claims that lack of ownership disclosure makes Canada's real estate market attractive for the investment the proceeds of crime, and that the lack of disclosure in property ownership facilitate tax evasion. It claims this is a growing problem gone mostly unpunished in Canada. Real estateIn Transparency International Canada's 2017 report on their 2016 investigation, "No Reason to Hide: Unmasking the anonymous owners of Canadian companies and trusts", it was revealed "that no one really knew who owned almost half of Vancouver’s most valuable properties, as the true owners were hiding behind shell companies, trusts and nominee owners."[3][4] The report suggested that lawyers are often used to launder money in Canada and that almost half of Vancouver's 100 most expensive homes were bought using methods that obscure the identity of the buyer.[3] Research by TIC showed that between 29 and half of the 100 most valuable residential properties in the Greater Vancouver area are owned using methods that obscure the identity of the buyer, and that four are registered in offshore jurisdictions.[3] TIC recommends that the Canadian federal government should require all companies and trusts in the country to identify their beneficial owners, and publish the collected information in a registry that is accessible to the public.[5][6][7] Corruption Perception IndexCanada is ranked number nine on the Transparency International's annual Corruption Perceptions Index.[8] OECD Anti-Bribery Convention{{main|OECD Anti-Bribery Convention}}In September, 2018 Transparency International downgraded Canada to "limited" enforcement of its obligations under the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. It was previously ranked as "moderate". This new lower ranking places Canada in the same category as "Hungary, Greece and Argentina" and "two levels out of four below international leaders such as the United States and the U.K."[9] References1. ^{{Cite web| first = James |last=Munson| date = October 31, 2017| title = Ottawa removes ‘small bribes’ exemption from anti-corruption act |work= iPolitics| access-date = March 22, 2019| url = https://ipolitics.ca/2017/10/31/ottawa-removes-small-bribes-exemption-from-anti-corruption-act/}} 2. ^{{Cite| title = Peter Dent new TI-Canada Chair and President| access-date = March 22, 2019 |date=September 2014 |format=PDF| url = http://www.transparencycanada.ca///wp-content/uploads/2014/09/2013109-Peter_Dent_Chair_and_President.pdf}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite report |url=http://www.transparencycanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TIC-BeneficialOwnershipReport-Interactive.pdf |format=PDF |title=No Reason to Hide: Unmasking the anonymous owners of Canadian companies and trusts |publisher=Transparency International Canada |date=May 2017 |access-date=March 22, 2019}} 4. ^{{Cite| title = BOT-GTA-Report-WEB-copy.pdf| accessdate = 2019-03-22| url = http://www.transparencycanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/BOT-GTA-Report-WEB-copy.pdf}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.canada.com/business/real-estate/hidden+ownership+homes+prevalent+report+says+raising/12502054/story.html|title=canada.com - Page Not Found|publisher=|via=Canada.com}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/transparency-home-ownership-1.3889013|title=Vancouver luxury home market shows need for more ownership disclosure: anti-corruption group|publisher=}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/05/09/tax-havens-serve-no-useful-purpose-say-more-than-350-leading-economists.html|title=Tax havens serve 'no useful purpose,' say more than 350 leading economists |newspaper=Toronto Star}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2016/01/27/canada-ranked-9th-least-corrupt-country-in-the-world/|title=Canada ranked 9th least corrupt country in the world|first=Radio Canada|last=International|date=January 27, 2016|publisher=}} 9. ^{{Cite web| title = Individual defendant receives three-year sentence for Canadian corruption conviction| work = Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP|access-date=March 22, 2019| url = http://www.osler.com/en/blogs/risk/january-2019/individual-defendant-receives-three-year-sentence-for-canadian-corruption-conviction |date=January 2019}} External links
