Canada loses points in annual corruption ranking
Transparency International's 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index shows significant improvement among some poor performers and some movement at the top, as well. In particular, Canada's score fell three points in 2013, to 81 (out of 100). The Corruption Perceptions Index measures how various stakeholders perceive corruption in the public sectors of the subject countries, based on reviews of government accountability, access to information, conflicts of interest and abuse of office, and integrity rules and anti-corruption laws.
