This assessment received government comments and feedback on the finalised data. These comments have been incorporated into the assessment at the GDI research team’s discretion. Usually the comments received highlight where a bill is in formulation, or has recently passed into law, and this has been missed by the country assessor. Only comments which are grounded in evidence are incorporated into the assessment.

Canada faces moderate corruption risk across its defence institutions. Institutional safeguards to corruption are strongest in policy-making and procurement due to robust external oversight and relatively strong transparency. However, weaker anti-corruption controls in personnel management systems and finances undermine governance in these areas, while risks are considered critical for military operations.
