Subject: RE: BS: 2012 Corruption Index
Sorry about the way that sounds. I don't doubt it.

Our perceptions of what constitutes corruption is quite different in Quebec. A five thousand dollar hunting trip with expenses paid is seen as a normal way of doing business. There are receipts connected with that--and certain tax benefits to the folks who pay the bill to attract business. Envelopes with $100,000 cash in them are perceived to be a slightly different story.
