An Organization that is Criminal, but not Really: A Review of the Canadian Remediation-Agreement Regime in the Context of the SNCLavalin Affair

Abstract

This article focuses on the new remediation-agreement regime under the Criminal Code. This regime, which is a form of diversion program for corporations and other organizational offenders, is described and analyzed, in light of the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Changes to the remediation-agreement regime are suggested to improve the regime.
