Corruption in Canada

Corruption in Canada is the use of political power for private gain by Canadian government officials.

Canada had the distinction of being the least corrupt government in the Americas in 2023, as measured by the Corruption Perceptions Index. Conflicts of interest within government, tax evasion, and the prevalence of money laundering in areas such as British Columbia are among 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". The 2014 Ernst & Young global fraud survey found that "twenty percent of Canadian executives believe bribery and corruption are widespread in this country".
