Another fascinating public document related to corruption & crim enforcement is available. Check out Canada's 20th Annual Report to Parliament on Implementation of OECD #antibribery Convention & Enforcement of #CFPOA . Covers period of Sept 2018-Aug 2019 international.gc.ca/trade-agreemen… Some of the information is widely known, but the report consolidates disparate pieces in one document. Helpful.
There are also some less well-known things.
A few highlights follow:

1 A thread on #SNC plea deal, now that I have read it in detail. Here are some thoughts.
1st & most important: while everything in the deal was legally possible, it is fair to say that what was done was difficult to anticipate even by experts.
Black swan scenario
#cfpoa #canpoli 2 By that I mean, no one considered a deal structured that way because it had never been done before.
You could argue that SNC situation was unique and so uniquely creative solution was required.
From legal perspective, deal was very cleverly done.

1/There is one BIG thing that stood out for me after hearing telephone recording between @Puglaas and Wernick.

It was a deliberate policy choice to have PROSECUTORS make the decision to invite a firm to negotiate RA, as part of their normal independent prosecutorial discretion. 2/ next big thing: JWR is *very* clear that DPP/PPSC prepared reasons to support their decision not to invite and that she was satisfied, based on those reasons, that there was no basis to exercise her exceptional power under DPP Act to issue a directive.
